No Income Tax Notices Sent To Eknath Shinde's Son Shrikant: Sources
Government sources clarified that no income tax notice was issued to Kalyan MP Shrikant Shinde, son of Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde.
Government sources speaking to CNN-News18 on Thursday clarified that no income tax notice has been issued to Kalyan MP Shrikant Shinde, son of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, following speculation triggered by remarks made by state minister Sanjay Shirsat.
The sources explained that the notices issued recently to select individuals, including Shirsat, are part of the Computer-Assisted Scrutiny Selection (CASS) cycle for the assessment year 2024–25. 'Under the CASS cycle, cases are selected for scrutiny without any human intervention and based on pre-defined risk parameters, particularly related to exemptions," one official said.
They further noted that the scrutiny process will proceed under the Faceless Assessment Scheme, and reiterated that 'no notice has been issued to Shri Shrikant Shinde."
Earlier in the day, Maharashtra Minister for Social Justice Sanjay Shirsat told reporters that he had received a notice from the Income Tax Department seeking an explanation for the increase in his assets between the 2019 and 2024 assembly elections. Shirsat, an MLA from Aurangabad (West) and a member of the Shiv Sena led by Eknath Shinde, initially suggested that Shrikant Shinde had also received a notice, but later backtracked, saying he was unaware of such a development.
Shirsat said the notice followed a complaint filed with the I-T department and added that he had sought more time to respond. 'I will give a proper response. Nothing wrong has been done," he said.

YSRCP accuses Andhra govt of large-scale land irregularities in Vizag
Visakhapatnam, Jul 27 (PTI) YSRCP leader and former minister Gudivada Amarnath on Sunday accused the TDP-led coalition government of 'large-scale land irregularities" and said it was behaving like a 'real estate agency" while allotting public lands to associates, firms and realtors at 'unjustifiably" low prices here. He alleged that the state government diverted prime land to newly incorporated firms with no credentials, undermining previous IT development plans initiated under the YSRCP regime. 'The TDP-led coalition government has committed massive irregularities in land allocations in Visakhapatnam since the government was formed," Amarnath said while addressing a press conference. He alleged that private companies received valuable land at rates as low as Rs 50 lakh to Rs 1 crore per acre, calling it a 'quid pro quo'. He noted the land deals had created no IT jobs for Andhra's youth. The former minister further alleged that Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and IT Minister Nara Lokesh were directly overseeing these land deals, and that public land was being 'looted" to benefit their associates. The YSRCP leader linked Naidu's frequent visits to Singapore to alleged corruption and old ties with tainted individuals there. Amarnath said that the YSRCP would launch a mass movement against the land scam and hold the Naidu-led coalition government accountable for allegedly diverting public wealth for private gains. Meanwhile, there was no immediate reaction from the ruling TDP. PTI MS GDK KH view comments First Published: July 27, 2025, 23:15 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
