"Out of this, the group has admitted undisclosed income exceeding Rs 30 crore," the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) said in a statement.

It said the taxman seized "incriminating documents and digital evidence" during the raids.

"The preliminary analysis of these evidences clearly indicate evasion of taxable income by adopting various malpractices such as unaccounted purchases of materials, under-invoicing of sales, and unaccounted expenditure incurred in cash."

"Analysis of seized material reveals that part of these cash sales have not been recorded in the books of accounts," it claimed.

The department also unearthed evidences of undisclosed investment in immovable properties, the statement said.
