Over 120 Income Tax officials are searching many places in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. These searches started on December 4 because they think some local business owners might have done something wrong when filing their tax returns. The tax team from Kolkata is checking different offices in areas like Church Road, Phoenix Bay, Marine Hills, Aberdeen Bazaar, and Dilanipur in Port Blair.
They are also searching places on Babu Lane and Junglighat, as well as on MG Road and Gurdwara Lane. The officials say this is a well-planned operation, and they promise to share what they find soon. They are mainly looking into possible mistakes with tax returns and issues related to GST.
When the tax team arrived at Veer Savarkar International Airport in Port Blair on December 4, they made sure to inform airport staff to stop any business owners whose offices were being searched from leaving the island.
