Last year, in September, the Income Tax Department initiated surveys at Alkem Laboratories’ premises following intelligence reports suggesting potential tax evasion. Subsequent investigations involved the collection of statements from relevant personnel and scrutiny of financial data and balance sheets by the tax authorities over subsequent months.
