Here's the latest on the Saradha chit fund scam: Amid reports that the Centre has returned the anti-chitfund Bill, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today said that some clarifications have been sought on the bill sent for presidential assent.

"The Centre did not return the Bill. The Bill is absolutely okay. The Centre only asked for clarifications on three points. They can seek such clarifications. It is their prerogative," Banerjee told reporters following reports in a section of the media that it was returned.

The three points on which clarifications are sought include widening of powers of special designated courts and that no court could grant anticipatory bail and a suggestion by the Centre for adding a new provision for compounding offences. Banerjee said no clarification was sought on the clause that allowed retrospective effect.
