Tax Evasion: If your income is high but your expenses are zero, yet you are living a luxurious life, then there is bad news for you. The Income Tax Department can ask you for the details of your daily expenses, like which shoes do you wear, which salon do you get a haircut in, or which restaurant do you go to eat in? According to sources, the IT department is asking for the details of household expenses. Some taxpayers are getting notices from the IT department. They have been asked for information about haircuts in salons and restaurants. Bills for ration, electricity and gas have also been asked.
According to information received from sources, the IT department has also asked for the details of cosmetics and perfumes from such people. IT sources say that these details are sought in faceless assessment. Such notices can be sent in the case of high income group. IT officers ask for such information in special circumstances. These details are sought on the mismatch of income and expenditure in ITR. It is difficult to comment on the notice without DIN, PAN, AY.

IT department sources say that these notices have not been sent to everyone. These include only such people with high income, who show huge income in their IT returns, but there is a lot of difference between their lifestyle and the money withdrawn from the bank. In simple terms, if someone lives a luxurious life, eats in expensive restaurants, wears expensive clothes but withdraws less money from the bank, then the department suspects that he has some other source of income, which he has hidden.
