Continuing its survey for straight 3 days in BBC's India offices, the Income Tax department officials gathered financial data from select staffers and made copies of electronic and paper data of the news organisation.
The Income Tax officials also asked the employees working with the media house to not “delete” any data until it is on.
The operation that began at the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) offices in Delhi and Mumbai around 11:30 am on Tuesday has clocked more than 45 hours now, officials said.
Authorities had said on Wednesday that the exercise would continue for some more time, saying the "exact time frame to call the operation closed rests entirely on the teams on the ground".
According to officials, the survey is being conducted to investigate issues concerning international taxation and transfer pricing of BBC subsidiary companies.
The survey teams are seeking answers on financial transactions, the company structure and other details about the news company, and are copying data from electronic gadgets as part of their task of collecting the evidence, tax officials had said.
