Power to requisition: tax officers may compel delivery of materials and electronic evidence held by other authorities.
Clause 248 empowers an approving authority to authorise specified tax officers to require delivery of assets, books, documents, electronic information or computer systems held by officers or authorities under other laws where persons served with summonses or notices fail to produce material, where material will be useful to tax proceedings and would not be returned, or where custody assets represent undisclosed income; post-delivery, designated procedural seizure, custody and preservation provisions apply with the requisitioning officer substituted for the authorised officer.
