The department is employing what it calls a “360 degree profiling” of taxpayers

ARMED WITH information on cash deposits of over Rs 2 lakh by tax assessees through a newly inserted column in the income-tax returns for 2017-18, the tax department has started the process of scrutinising and matching details with those provided earlier by banks and financial institutions.

Alongside this, a list has been readied of about 1.37 crore non-filers with potential tax liability that have been identified under the department’s Non-Filer Monitoring System (NMS) — a tool aimed at zeroing on this category.

The department is employing what it calls a “360 degree profiling” of taxpayers to identify and link all transactions relating to them in its database, based on which each taxpayer is to be treated as “high-risk” or otherwise.

These measures form part of the second phase of the department’s ‘Operation Clean Money’ project and come close on the heels of the latest compliance window ending on March 31 for people to declare unaccounted cash and deposits post demonetisation.

On Thursday, the department initiated action after the closure of the compliance window, with over 30 premises linked to an infrastructure-related business group being searched across the country. Searches were also being conducted at 19 premises in Pune of a business group engaged in processing and trading of agricultural commodities.

The triggers for the action, officials said, included entries obtained by the infrastructure company from Mumbai and Kolkata-based entry operators for alleged “bogus sub-contract charges” and various other expenses, aggregating to more than Rs 100 crore.

The second phase of ‘Operation Clean Money’ is expected to get fully underway sometime later this month, officials said, adding that it will focus on those who did not opt for the scheme. “We are going to soon announce the gameplan for the future phase of Operation Clean Money,” said a senior finance ministry official.

As part of the first phase of Operation Clean Money, about 18 lakh communications were sent by the income tax department for cash deposits made after the November 8 demonetisation announcement, out of which over 12 lakh responses were received from 8.38 lakh distinct PANs/persons whose cash deposits were reportedly not in line with their tax profiles.
