Income Tax Department also gave notice to CPI to pay Rs 11 crore

Communist Party of India has also received a notice from the Income Tax Department to pay Rs 11 lakh. According to sources, this amount has been demanded for using the old PAN card while filing returns during the last few years. The Left Party is contacting lawyers to challenge the Income Tax Department notice. Earlier, Congress had said that it has received a notice from the Income Tax Department for payment of Rs 1823 crore after discrepancies were found in the returns filed during the previous years. Trinamool Congress leader Saket Gokhale has also said that he has received 11 notices from the Income Tax Department in the last 72 hours. Congress alleges that the Bharatiya Janata Party led central government wants to crush the opposition in the Lok Sabha elections.
