A post by IndianTechGuide claims that from April 1, 2026, the Income Tax Department will have the 'authority' to access your social media, emails, and other digital platforms to curb tax evasion.
#PIBFactCheck
❌The claim being made in this post is #misleading! Here’s the real picture:
✅ The provisions of section 247 of Income Tax Act 2025 are strictly limited to Search and Survey operations. Unless a taxpayer is undergoing a formal search operation due to evidence of significant tax evasion, the department has no power to access their private digital spaces.
✅ The powers cannot be used for routine information gathering/processing, or even for cases under scrutiny assessment. These measures are specifically designed to target black money and large-scale evasion during search and survey , not the everyday law-abiding citizen
✅ The power to seize documents and evidence during search and survey operations has existed since the 1961 Act.
