The CBI has registered an FIR against three Income Tax Department officials for allegedly facilitating fictitious TDS refunds in case of several assessees by misusing system access of senior officers.

Officials said the FIR was registered on the complaint of Joint Commissioner of Income Tax, Muzaffarnagar, against “three group C officials”, who allegedly managed to dupe the department by misusing RSA tokens of assessing officers to work out and generate fictitious refunds of tax deducted at source (TDS).

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
