Yes, after approval of the proposal in final budget as follows: 

Section 132 of the Income Tax Act 1961 empowers the income tax authorities to conduct search and seizure operations. To do so, the authorities must have “reason to believe” that a person is not willing to comply with a summons to produce information required by the authorities, or that a person is in possession of assets that they have not disclosed for income tax purposes.
