The Income Tax Department has launched a large-scale crackdown on fraudulent claims of deductions and exemptions in Income Tax Returns (ITRs).

 

Organized rackets, false filings, and misuse of beneficial provisions are under scrutiny.

This large-scale verification follows detailed analysis of misuse of beneficial provisions like deductions u/s 10(13A), 80GGC, 80E, 80D, 80EE, 80EEB, 80G, 80GGA and 80DDB, often in collusion with professional intermediaries. Advanced AI tools and third-party data are being used to identify suspicious patterns.
