Nandan Nilekani family may get SIR notices, added to discrepancy list, says Indian Express

Nandan Nilekani, co‑founder of Infosys and former chairman of the UIDAI, is reportedly under tax scrutiny. According to a report in The Indian Express, the income‑tax department may issue Self‑Assessment Income Tax (SIR) notices to Nilekani and members of his immediate family in the coming days. The notices would indicate that their tax returns have been flagged for discrepancies, and their names could appear on a list maintained by the department for further verification. The article did not disclose the specific reasons for the discrepancy or any monetary figures, and no official comment has been obtained from Nilekani’s representatives or the tax authorities. This development adds to a broader pattern of heightened scrutiny of high‑profile individuals and corporations by Indian tax agencies.
