Our Income Tax law allows all persons to self-assess their income and pay taxes. However, to protect the revenue base, unearth concealed income and to act as a deterrent, tax authorities have been vested with powers to conduct surveys and searches (commonly referred to as ‘raids’). These raids are made the basis of information available by the department’s investigation wing and after obtaining requisite internal approvals.
Often termed as Raid by laymen, income tax survey and search are becoming increasingly common as businesses continue to grow. Apparently, there is no word called raid in the Income Tax Act. The two important tools which the department uses are survey and search and when one or both of these two operations get initiated, people term it as raid.
The search/survey action has unravelled the entire modus-operandi which has been adopted by the share-brokers/traders to trade into the illiquid stock options in Equity Derivative Segment and thereby generate artificial losses/profit by executing reversal trades in a very short span of time. By this contrived methodology, the unscrupulous entities have secured desired profits/losses, which is estimated to be more than Rs. 3500 Crore. The search/survey action has also resulted into identification of the wrongful long-term capital gains taken in at least 3 penny stocks listed on the BSE, where the manipulated profits utilized by the beneficiaries aggregate to around Rs. 2000 Crore.
