Delhi Court Extends CBI Custody of IRS Officer and CA in Faceless IT Scheme Bribery Case

A Delhi court has extended the CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) custody of an IRS (Indian Revenue Service) officer and a Chartered Accountant (CA) who were arrested in connection with a bribery case within the faceless income tax assessment scheme. The extension suggests that the CBI requires more time for interrogation and investigation into the alleged corruption. The case highlights concerns about potential malpractices within the newly implemented faceless tax assessment system and the involvement of tax professionals.
