The Income Tax Department today conducted multiple searches at showrooms and residences of fashion designers in the national capital on charges of alleged tax evasion, a senior official said.
He said at least 25 locations were being raided and surveyed by the tax sleuths on the basis of inputs received by the department against the fashion designers related to large cash transactions.
Locations in north and south Delhi and a few residential premises of designer showroom owners were reported to have been covered as part of the action.
"The searches are still on. A number of documents and computer peripherals have been recovered," he said.
