In the current year, the number of search warrants executed has declined compared to last year.
The crucial survey operations conducted by the Income Tax department to detect tax evasion have been severely hit due to a long drawn employees agitation in the national capital.

In another such action in the coal-rich belt of Singrauli district, the department unearthed undue tax evasions worth Rs 9.5 crore.
The next time an Income Tax team raids your business premise they will not seize anything but instead leave the name and contact number of their boss with you. The I-T team will do so even before they begin the raid and the step has been taken to do away with any grievance related to harassment or corruption by I-T officials under the garb of such operations.
