In a meeting of the CCI held here today under the chairmanship of its president Rakesh Gupta, the members expressed their concern and alleged that the Income Tax department is conducting surveys at a time when the State was totally disturbed, resulting in total collapse of business. Moreover the last date for the IDS was September 30.
On this occasion, the members were made aware and cautioned that if anybody is served with any notice or called by the Income Tax department, he should ensure compliance as more surveys may be done if it is a matter of non-compliance.
