Dozens of high-earning executives, including chief executives and managing directors of multinational companies, with annual salaries exceeding Rs 50 lakh are receiving notices.

The notices are for allegedly underreporting income and claiming unwarranted exemptions, focusing on undeclared foreign assets, overseas income, underreported stock-linked incentives, and inflated perquisites.

Executives from sectors including IT, hospitality, fast-moving consumer goods, engineering, construction, automobiles, and startups have come under the department's radar.

The department is using intensified reviews of high-income individuals' tax returns, data from automated exchange programmes, PAN-linked tracking, and AI-based analytics to flag inconsistencies.

Undisclosed foreign assets include properties in the names of minors and spouses, overseas stocks, cryptocurrency payments, and deposits in foreign accounts.

This crackdown aligns with the government's push for tighter compliance and data-driven enforcement to ensure accurate tax reporting.
