AI has detected tax evasion in Hyderabad using font analysis of forged capital gains bills. In a specific case, an assessee claimed substantial deductions for property improvement costs with bills purportedly from 2002-2008. However, AI tools identified that the text on one crucial bill from 2002 was in 'Calibri' font, which was publicly released only in 2006 (default in Microsoft Office from 2007). This discrepancy proved the document was fabricated, leading the taxpayer to withdraw the false claim. This highlights the increasing sophistication of tax enforcement through digital forensics and AI in uncovering fraud.
