The CBDT has directed the Income Tax department to monitor high-value cash transactions, especially in sectors where such transactions are common, using a non-intrusive approach.

Sectors being targeted include hotels, banquet halls, luxury retailers, IVF clinics, hospitals, designer clothing stores, and NRI quota medical college seats.

The aim is to curb tax evasion, improve tax compliance in high-cash industries, and verify high-value consumption expenditures against taxpayer information.

The CBDT is forming special teams, led by Principal Commissioners, to focus on recovering tax arrears from the top 5,000 cases.

The department will use data mining and analytics to identify potential taxpayers, including non-filers and those with financial transactions not aligning with their tax returns.
