The raids were conducted on the proprietors of Surana jewellers, who are suspected of tax evasion and facilitating hawala transactions of several crores. The tax sleuths searched the Surana jewellery store chain and residences of the proprietor, suspecting undisclosed transactions and unaccounted assets.
The raids are linked to last week's Income Tax raids on Nanded-based Bhandari brothers, who were running unlisted chit funds, microfinance, leasing, gold loan, and real estate firms for unaccounted assets of ₹170 crore, including ₹14 crores cash and 8 kg of gold. The tax department also raided Ashokraj Angadia Courier Service at Kothadi Bazar, Akola, for providing hawala services to several entrepreneurs, traders, and coaching classes for unaccounted income and tax evasion.
The Income Tax department has been cracking down on tax evaders and those involved in hawala transactions, and these raids are a significant step in this direction.
The Income Tax department has been conducting raids and searches across the country to unearth unaccounted wealth and assets. These efforts are aimed at curbing tax evasion and bringing more people under the tax net.
The Income Tax department is a government agency responsible for the collection of taxes and enforcement of tax laws in India.
