Income Tax department launches nationwide verification to combat fraudulent claims in I-T returns

Representative image NEW DELHI: The income tax department Monday launched a nationwide verification operation targeting individuals and entities facilitating fraudulent claims of deductions and exemptions in I-T returns. The exercise is not limited to deductions for donations to little-known political parties and charities but also those related to health insurance and medical expenses (Sec 80D and 80DDB of I-T Act), HRA (Sec 10(13A), interest on education and home loans and for purchase of vehicles (Sec 80E, 80EE and 80EEB), CBDT said. Those under lens are MNC staff, public sector companies, government bodies, academic institutions and entrepreneurs who have claimed deductions without valid justification, it said. I-T department tapped many databases to identify likely offenders The I-T department is now poised to take stern action against continued fraudulent claims, including penalties and prosecution wherever applicable. The ongoing verification exercise across 150 premises is expected to yield crucial evidence, including digital records, that will aid in dismantling networks behind these schemes and ensure accountability," the I-T dept said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal?

It said that investigations have uncovered "organised rackets" operated by certain ITR preparers and intermediaries, who have been filing returns claiming fictitious deductions and exemptions. The move is a signal to individuals who take shortcuts and make claims without having evidence of deductions or expenses shown in returns. Tax authorities tapped multiple databases to identify likely offenders. It conducted search and seizures in several states, including Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Gujarat, Punjab, and MP, where it found evidence of fraudulent claims. CBDT said the actions follow an outreach conducted programme, asking taxpayers to revise their returns in case discrepancies were noticed. "As a result, around 40,000 taxpayers have updated their returns in last four months, voluntarily withdrawing false claims amounting to Rs 1,045 crore. However, many remain non-compliant, possibly under influence of masterminds behind these evasion rackets," it said.

Imported, exotic fruits flood supermarkets

Chennai: South African pears, Peruvian blueberries, Australian oranges, New Zealand apples and Chinese grapes, each with stickers showing their country of origin, are on display in the neighbourhood supermarkets as wholesale vendors in Koyambedu import them in tonnes. On the other side of the aisle are native-grown exotic fruits such as dragon fruit, jamun, fig, mangosteen, rambutan and dates sourced from different parts of the country, including Ooty and Kodaikanal. "The official fruit season has begun in Chennai," said Fruit Association president S Srinivasan who imports fruits from several countries. "The season for mangoes and jackfruit is coming to an end, but native apples from Himachal Pradesh are yet to come. Imported fruit usually fills the gap."

The season for apples from Turkey just ended, vendors said. While Egyptian oranges are being sold now, vendors are placing orders for oranges and mandarins (smaller oranges) from South Africa, which are likely to arrive in a couple of weeks. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo South African pears, costing between 25 and 30 a piece in the wholesale market for a box containing 100 or 120, are now on sale. As are pears from Chile, priced at 2,400 to 2,600 for a 12kg cart. "Chile is a significant global producer and exporter of pears, particularly European pear varieties. They are tasty too, but the shelf life for these varieties is shorter," said S Karthik, a wholesale vendor. So are Peru's blueberries. A carton containing a dozen 120g boxes of this fruit is sold at 1,900-2,000 in the wholesale market. "In supermarkets, it's sold at 350-450 per box. This is because they may wrinkle or shrink fast. Wastage pushes up prices of these fruits." Alongside these imported varieties are Indian native varieties, mostly sourced from Ooty, Kodaikanal, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Maharashtra, said market management committee member K Jayaraman, a wholesale trader. "We have the best of mangosteen and rambutans this year. Jamuns are of premium quality too. We are also getting good quality large guavas," he said. The season for exotic and imported fruit is likely to end by Sept when the festive season begins in India.
