The story of the most bizarre Indian business
Sahara: The Untold Story by Tamal Bandyopadhyay is a unique book. It starts and ends (on the back cover) with a strongly worded statement from the Sahara group. Perhaps this is also the first book published in India where both, the author and the subject, agreed on 'limited information’ part in the book. Bandyopadhyay’s use of a term like ‘India’s most secretive’ for the Sahara group explains why this book contains ‘limited information’. The Sahara group had approached the court to stop publication of the book. However, later it withdrew the case on the condition that it should be allowed to print its own disclaimer in the book. 
This was a certain tax-related issue in regard to OFCDs, which Sahara India Commercial Corp Ltd (SICCL) was fighting out with the income tax authority. This was related to a Rs35.57 crore disputed income tax that was imposed on the company for accepting OFCDs worth Rs20,000 crore or more from many investors through cash and not account payee cheques or demand drafts, as required under the Income Tax Act, 1961.
