<h1>Tax Authorities Gain Power to Withhold Search and Seizure Rationale Under Clause 249, Limiting Taxpayer Transparency</h1> Tax authorities can now prevent disclosure of reasons for search and seizure under Clause 249 of the Income Tax Bill, 2025. The provision bars revealing 'reason to believe' or 'reason to suspect' to any person, authority, or Appellate Tribunal. This approach maintains investigative secrecy while limiting taxpayers' ability to challenge enforcement actions, with constitutional courts retaining ultimate review power.
