About Directorate of Revenue Intelligence and Economic Offences (DRI&EO)

Paying the right amount of state revenue is a social responsibility towards the nation. Tax evasion burdens honest taxpayers, undermines justice and equality in taxes. It hurts everybody and hampers the larger task of nation building.

The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence and Economic Offences is the apex intelligence and investigative agency established by the Government of Rajasthan to prevent evasion of taxes, duties and royalty in the field of Commercial Taxes, Transport, Mining, State Excise and Stamps & Registration. Primary purpose of instituting the directorate is to provide a full proof, citizen friendly mechanism to common citizens to lodge a complaint and submit incriminating evidence with/without revealing identity. The directorate aims to provide prompt and professional response to all the complaints filed. It provides fair and impartial investigation. The identity and privacy of each informant is respected. There is a provision of incentive in the form of monetary reward in cases where the information has led to a recovery of taxes.

The agency has been entrusted with the task of improving compliance of tax laws through vigilance and encourage greater participation of citizens in prevention of revenue leakages. The agency can be contacted through online portal, letter, phone call, SMS, WhatsApp message, e-mail or in person wherever an aware citizen feels that there is a tax evader in the shadows.

The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence and Economic Offences adopts and implements a comprehensive strategy for seamless coordination across departments and combat tax evasion with precision. Quite often it has been found that evasion of one type of taxation is accompanied by evasion of other similar taxes by the same evader. It was noticed by the government that individual departments work in silos and are bound by the jurisdiction set by law. In view of growing complexity in tax evasion and multi departmental implications, a need was felt to bring officials from different fields under one aegis to ensure maximum vigilance through better understanding of different aspects of various tax laws and their implication on each other.
