The main purpose is to facilitate investigations into tax evasion by enhancing the CBIC's digital forensics and investigation capabilities, particularly against digitally savvy evaders.
CBIC Chairman Vivek Johri confirmed this development in his communication to all staff.
According to Interpol, digital forensics is a branch of forensic science that focuses on identifying, acquiring, processing, analysing, and reporting on data stored electronically.
Digital forensics can extract data from a wide array of sources, including computers, smartphones, remote storage, unmanned aerial systems, and shipborne equipment.
Other measures include using data analytics and AI, conducting drives against fraudulent input tax credit claims, restricting ITC availment, sharing data with law enforcement, mandatory Aadhaar authentication for new registrations, and imposing penalties on beneficial owners.
