Supreme Court rejects challenge to new tax powers allowing surprise searches and digital seizures, calling privacy concerns speculative.
The Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to new tax raid powers in the Income Tax Act, 2025, which allow searches without notice and seizure of digital devices and data.
The petition argued the provisions violated privacy and due process, but the court ruled concerns were speculative and existing legal remedies suffice.
It allowed the petitioner to seek clarifications from the government but refused to declare the law unconstitutional or mandate safeguards.
The law, effective April 1, 2026, aims to target major tax evaders, with judicial review still available through High Courts.
