The Income Tax department has issued summons to Delhi Health Minister Satyendra Jain, asking him to appear before it in connection with its tax evasion probe against certain Kolkata-based firms.
Officials said Jain has been asked to appear before the Investigating Officer of the case here on October 4 and has also been directed to furnish personal financial details and ITRs for the last four years during his appearance.
They said the department received records of certain financial transactions connected to Jain after their counterparts in Kolkata recently searched a firm in connection with a tax evasion and alleged illegal financial remittances case.
They said the department reportedly recovered documents relating to some transactions being made by at least three firms and had a link to Jain.
“The summons are issued as part of inquiry into the case which the I-T department has been probing for sometime now.
