A LOOK AT TODAY'S NEWSPAPERS HEADLINES:

The Statesman explains - A minimum of 50% tax will be levied on unexplained bank deposits of banned currency notes up to December the 30th, along with a 4 year lock-in period for half of the remaining amount, under the amendments to income tax law - which the Government plans to bring in Parliament shortly.
The issue of  Punjab waters not going to Pakistan, is also widely covered. The Tribune writes - At the foundation stone laying of The All India Institute of Medical Sciences at Bathinda, the Prime Minister said the Centre was working with the Punjab Government to ensure that the Indus, Ravi and Satluj waters flowing to the Arabian Sea through Pakistan, come back to India for farmers of the Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir.
