Eye on groups reporting incorrect income data –

CBDT’s mandatory selection guidelines indicate that income tax officials are eyeing certain specific groups of taxpayers to ensure that they report their income correctly. The CBDT has ordered that the government has over the years expanded the areas where Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) or Tax Collection at Source (TCS) is now mandatory.
