Every law enforcement agency,including ED and CBI, is assisted by local police to conduct raids. Police is the authorised agency to use arms in civilian area,even army cannot do so without orders from DM\SP. Also indian laws take special care not to give guns in too many hands,which can disturb internal peace within the country.
That is why Income tax officers do not have guns as they are not allowed and dont need them too.
Just an FYI,custom officers do get guns.
