A total of 26 premises were searched. An official said, “It is mandatory for jewellers to take a copy of PAN card from customers buying jewellery above Rs 2 lakh. Many jewellers split the bills to keep these under Rs 2 lakh so that customers’ details remain unknown.”

The department was expecting to unearth a huge tax evasion, he said.
