Indian CBI charges nine, including officials and accountants, for allegedly undermining tax system integrity.

The CBI in India has charged nine individuals, including a Deputy Commissioner and two Inspectors from the Income-Tax Department, along with five chartered accountants, for allegedly undermining the "Faceless Assessment Scheme." They are accused of disclosing confidential information about pending high-value tax cases to benefit financially, going against the system designed to reduce direct interaction between taxpayers and officials. Searches were conducted across multiple locations, and the case was initiated based on a complaint from the Income-Tax Department.
