Surat, September 28 Representatives of the Federation of Textile Trader Association took out a rally and met the Chief Commissioner of Income-Tax over the issue of harassment faced by them at the hands of I-T officials during raids.
On Friday, the president of the Association, Shree Kishan Banka, along with Federation of South Gujarat Processor Association president Pramod Choudhary, met Chief Commissioner of Income-Tax K P Singh and complained about the I-T officials who harass textile traders during raids.
Singh told the complainants to give a written complaint against the concerned officials and assured them that proper action will be taken.
The Income-Tax department officials conducted raids at the offices, factories, godowns, shops and residential premises of textile traders last week and unearthed unaccountable money to the tune of crores of rupees. Alarmed by the raids, many traders shut down their shops and went to their native places.
