9.1
India's Income Tax Department announced on Feb 20, 2026 that a routine inspection of Hyderabad biryani restaurants uncovered a nationwide billing deletion scheme. Forensic analysts seized about 60 terabytes of data from over 1 lakh restaurants, using AI to reconstruct erased invoices and estimate roughly Rs 70,000 crore in concealed turnover. The CBDT has expanded the probe and is matching recovered bills with tax returns and bank records to issue notices.
