(Tax) scrutiny not nice… will deal with it cooperatively, professionally: BBC

REFERRING TO the Income Tax department’s surveys at its offices in Mumbai and Delhi last month, BBC’s Deputy CEO and Director of News Jonathan Munro has said that while such scrutiny is “not nice”, the British broadcaster will “deal cooperatively and professionally with any aftermath”.

Speaking to The Indian Express on Friday, Munro said: “It’s not nice for any organisation to have that sort of scrutiny, uninvited as it were. But everybody knows that we’ve got a responsibility to obey the law and that’s what we’ll do… We are here to obey the law and comply with all the regulations and cooperate with anything that needs to be dealt with.”
