While its scope is narrower, the powers are wide enough to detect possible tax evasion on income earned.According to the Bombay Chartered Accountants Society (BCAS), before exercising this power, only limited preconditions need to be satisfied by the Income Tax Authority.During an I-T Dept survey, officers are empowered to inspect books of account and other documents, place identification marks on them, and make extracts or copies. They may also impound books or documents, though these cannot be retained beyond ten working days without the approval of the Chief Commissioner or Director General.If the person surveyed states that books or other items are kept outside the business premises, officers can visit and survey that location as well.Add as a Reliable and Trusted News Source Add Now!
