New Delhi: The Income Tax department today launched raids in multiple states as part of a tax evasion probe against registered unrecognized political parties (RUPP) and their alleged dubious funding, official sources said.
The searches are being conducted in Gujarat, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Haryana, and some other states, they said.
A coordinated action has been launched by the tax department against the registered unrecognized political parties, their linked entities, operators, and others, the sources told Press Trust of India.
The surprise action is understood to have been taken by the department on the recommendation of the Election Commission (EC) which recently struck off 87 entities from its list of registered unrecognized political parties after they were found non-existent during physical verification.
The poll panel had announced that it was taking action against more than 2,100 registered unrecognized political parties for flouting rules and election laws, including those related to the filing of monetary contributions, failing to update their address and names of office bearers.
It had said some of these parties were indulging in "serious" financial impropriety.
