No new tax search power, SoP soon: CBDT
Mint Ahmedabad
|August 26, 2025
The move comes amid concerns from tax professionals over the law's wording on digital access
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) will issue a standard operating procedure (SoP) on search and seizure provisions under the new Income Tax Act, 2025, to guide officials on handling digital records of assessees and ensure consistent application, board member (legislation) Ramesh Narain Parbat told Mint. The new tax law will come into effect in April.
The development comes amid tax professionals' concern over the law's wording on digital access.
Parbat said tax officials have not been given any new powers; the provisions merely make the existing ones clear and explicitly spelt out.
The department will issue an SoP for handling digital data, he said to a query on the safeguards needed for officials to get assessees' digital data.
