What is a survey by the Income Tax Department?
A survey conducted under Section 133A of the Income Tax Act is different from a search operation. While its scope may be narrow, its powers are broad enough to detect income tax evasion or concealed income. According to the Bombay Chartered Accountants Society (BCAS), income tax officials must meet only a few limited conditions before exercising this power. A survey is an action by the Income Tax Department in which they examine the records and transactions of a company or individual to determine whether the correct tax has been paid.
