Income Tax Department on Tuesday asked its officials to ensure there is no
"threat, warning or show cause" notice sent to taxpayers under its
'Operation Clean Money' aimed at checking black money after the government's
demonetisation drive.

should be ensured that the communications made online with the persons under
verification should be in very polite language without containing any element
of threat or warning. No show cause of any kind should be given," the
Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) said in a set instructions on the matter. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions

required to attend the department's office "personally under any
circumstance and at any stage."

collected through the person under verification using online platform
only," the instructions issued to all field offices of the tax department,
