...$1 million or more, excluding their primary residence, collectibles, consumables and consumer durables."

Does this mean people with "liquid" funds for investment??

Even by this definition, there has to be a bigger number of Indian HNI's... the foreign banks didn't set up shop for only 1.5 lakh people in a population of 1.2 billion in a trillion dollar economy!! .... perhaps, the sample was small and yes, don't confuse "ownership" with "effective control"!!

You don't need Swiss banks to stash black/corrupt/illegal money.
Private banks in India viz Citi/ICICI/HDFC etc will give you a numbered a/c if you lobby through proper channels.

SET UP National Real Estate Regulator
by anuradhakumari on Jun 24, 2011 09:14 PM

There is lots of Black Money involved in real estate market.............
Please set up National Real Estate Regulator.
There should be some rebate for aquiring 1 house. Some higher taxes for owning a second house and very very high tax for owning three or more houses... Like wise, this artificially created scarcity for houses can be OVERCOME!!!!!

Bogus numbers

A million USD is 4 crores only. Bombay by itself will have that many USD millionaires.

1 million USD is not 44 crores, it's around 4.5 crores.

1 billion USD = 4500 crore
1000 million USD = 1 billion

Hence 1 million USD = 4.5 crores.
