taxpayers. The process ensures compliance with tax laws, prevents evasion, and
maintains transparency in financial reporting.

unusual refunds, or unverified investments. The assessing officer cannot go beyond

triggered by high-value transactions, inconsistent income, or other red flags, requiring
detailed documentation and explanations.

risk cases like foreign transactions or concealed income, often requiring expert
evaluation and prompt compliance.
