<h1>Finance Ministry Denies Harassment by Tax Department; Raids Target Specific Evasion Cases, Search Warrants Decrease.</h1> The Finance Ministry clarified that the Income Tax Department is not harassing industries through indiscriminate raids. Searches and seizures are based on specific information about tax evasion, and the use of technology helps select cases for scrutiny. The number of search warrants and surveys has decreased compared to previous years. From April to October 2011, 2,190 search warrants were executed, a decline from 2,548 in the same period the previous year. The department emphasizes that only a small fraction of taxpayers face such actions, and the significant undeclared incomes detected justify these measures.
