BHOPAL: The Madhya Pradesh unit of income tax department has sent a notice to a senior IAS officer's wife over her online shopping+ spree.
While officials claim that she had ordered products worth Rs 10 lakh in a small period of time, those close to the IAS officer say that his wife suffers from compulsive buying disorder - a psycholo-gical disorder characterized by an obsession with shopping that causes adverse consequences.
Online shoppers tend to leave a digital trail that is available to income tax officials, who use a smart software to map an individual's spending, said officials. The spending data can be matched with taxes paid and evaders+ can be caught. The IAS officer's wife files her income tax separately and she has not filed her reply yet.
