"The definition of a computer system has to be wide enough. Today, the computer systems are of so many different varieties," added the Finance Minister. She highlighted that the provisions will be made to deal with those tax evaders who don't let the officials from the Income Tax department access their devices, claiming that the respective device doesn't come under the definition of 'computer system' as stated in the Income Tax Bill 1961.
