Certain sections of the press have been carrying news reports today that Income Tax Department is going to arrest wilful defaulters of tax.

Though the provisions for arrest and detention by the Tax Recovery Officers in respect of the non-compliant tax defaulters are contained in the Income-tax Act, these are used extremely sparingly.
