The CBI has initiated an investigation against Assistant Commissioner Rati Ram Meena for allegedly possessing disproportionate assets of approximately ₹2.54 crore accumulated between August 2018 and August 2025. Searches in Jaipur, Ankleshwar, and Ahmedabad reportedly uncovered properties, high-end vehicles, jewellery worth ₹35 lakh, and documents indicating funds routed via family-linked entities.

In a landmark ruling, ITAT Ahmedabad has held that penalty under Section 271C of the Income Tax Act is not applicable for delayed remittance of TDS, provided the tax was deducted and paid with interest. This decision, based on Supreme Court precedent, offers relief to taxpayers facing procedural delays.
