I-T department seizes cash ahead of Assembly elections in five States

In the run-up to the Assembly elections in five States, the income tax department has seized more unexplained cash as compared to elections held in those States earlier, CBDT chairman Nitin Gupta said on November 15.

Mr. Gupta said that before both the State Assembly and Lok Sabha elections, the enforcement agencies, including the I-T department, increased surveillance and also got information about unexplained cash and jewellery on toll-free numbers created for the purpose.

“The States where we are right now in elections we have seized more cash than what was seized in the corresponding time in the State Assembly elections or Lok Sabha 2019,” Mr. Gupta told presspersons here.
