<h1>CBDT Issues Directive Against Coercion for Income Admissions in Searches; Emphasizes Evidence-Based Approach, Warns Officers of Consequences.</h1> The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has issued a circular addressing complaints about coercion used to extract admissions of undisclosed income during searches and surveys. Such admissions, often retracted due to lack of evidence, undermine the purpose of these operations and tarnish the department's reputation. The CBDT reiterates the importance of gathering evidence without coercion and warns that any instance of undue influence will be viewed negatively. Officers are instructed to comply strictly with these guidelines, and senior officials are tasked with monitoring compliance. The circular has been approved by the Chairperson of the CBDT.
