<h1>Section 281B: Tax Officers Can Temporarily Attach Property to Secure Revenue During Investigation Delays, Valid for Up to 2 Years.</h1> Section 281B of the Income-tax Act, 1961, effective from October 1, 1975, aims to safeguard revenue interests when demand collection may be delayed due to investigations. It allows an Assessing Officer, with prior approval from the Chief Commissioner/Commissioner, to provisionally attach an assessee's property during assessment or reassessment proceedings. This attachment is initially valid for six months but can be extended up to two years. The instructions emphasize that Assessing Officers should utilize provisional attachment in appropriate cases and ensure all officers in the region are informed of these provisions.
