Understanding what a search and seizure is

A search and seizure is an action by the tax department under which officials visit premises, examine records and take possession of documents or material they consider relevant. It is a step in an investigation. It is not, by itself, an order or a finding of tax liability, and any final view ordinarily emerges through orders or proceedings that follow.

Any subsequent order or direction from the Income Tax Department, or any assessment that follows the search.
Any further announcement by the Company, which it has said it will make promptly in case of a material development.
