Income Tax raids are going on in many cities of the country.

Raids have been conducted in several states in cases of tax evasion against Unrecognized Political Parties (RUPPs) registered by the Income Tax Department.

The Income Tax Department has raided entry operators belonging to small political parties.

It is the people who take the donation and return the cash.

This action is being taken on the basis of a report of the Election Commission.

In June this year, the Election Commission ordered the removal of 111 such parties from the register, which were registered but did not exist.

Their addresses turned out to be fake.

The mail sent to their addresses came back.

These parties were taking donations illegally and making disturbances in it.

Such parties were asked to conduct a financial investigation.

The Income Tax Department is conducting searches at the premises of entry operators who have allegedly given donations to political parties.

Raids are going on in Ghaziabad, Lucknow, Gurugram and Gujarat.

The corporates under scrutiny are those who make donations through entry operators. 

The Income Tax Department conducted raids in several states as part of a tax evasion probe against unrecognized political parties and their alleged suspected 'funding'.

Sources said that the Income Tax Department has initiated simultaneous action against the RUPP, its associated entities, operators and others.

Action is being taken against such registered unrecognized political parties which are violating the rules and election related laws.

Serious financial irregularities have been found in some parties.
