Income Tax Probe Flags Gujarat Unrecognised Parties in Alleged Cash-Routing Network
The Income Tax Department is examining whether a cluster of unrecognised political parties in Gujarat was used as a conduit for laundering and tax evasion, with investigators alleging that large sums were routed through party accounts and then withdrawn in cash. The probe, which began in 2022, reportedly covers transactions worth about Rs 1,000 crore and has raised fresh questions about the use of political entities with limited public scrutiny.
