NEW DELHI: Vigilance officials have indicted three senior income tax commissioners whose names allegedly figured in cash transactions mentioned in a diary recovered during searches on the premises of the Sandesara Group six years ago. 

After a probe ordered by Central Board of Direct Taxes, vigilance officials recommended referring the matter to the Central Bureau of Investigation because “substantial monetary transactions involved a possible angle of disproportionate assets” with a “bearing on the integrity of the officers concerned.” 

Separately, they recommended action against senior officers of the investigation and assessment wings of the Mumbai income tax department involved in the searches on the premises of Sandesara Group company Sterling Biotech for failing to meet “standards of devotion to duty” and for “completing the assessment in a questionable manner by placing incorrect findings on record.”
