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.
