The Income Tax authorities will be issuing notices this week to five cricket players including Kapil Dev and Ajay Jadeja for filing of block returns in the wake of appraisals made of seizures during recent country-wide searches. Highly-placed sources in Income Tax told PTI that the assessing officer of Income Tax would be issuing notices to Manoj Prabhakar, Ajay Sharma, Ajay Jadeja and Nikhil Chopra whose appraisal reports had already been sent to him. The appraisal report of Kapil Dev would also be completed this week and sent to him. The players would have to file in their block returns for the period of 1990-2000 within 30 days, the sources said. The appraisal report of Navjot Singh Sidhu has also been completed and sent to Ludhiana directorate from where he would be issued notice for submission of the block returns this week, the sources said. In a nation-wide swoop on July 20, IT officials raided premises of cricketers including Kapil Dev, Jadeja, Ajay Sharma, Nikhil Chopra and Manoj Prabhakar (all in Delhi), Azharuddin (Hyderabad and Mumbai) and Navjot Sidhu (Patiala), former International Cricket Council Chief Jagmohan Dalmiya (Calcutta), Worldtel Chairman Mark Mascarenhas (Bangalore) and BCCI treasurer Kishore Rungta (Jaipur), besides some bookies.
