Income tax officials said the transaction was part of a tax evasion investigation.
The United States said on Tuesday it was aware of the investigative operation carried out by Indian tax authorities at the BBC's office in Delhi, but was unable to comment. "We are aware of the search of the BBC offices in Delhi by the Indian tax authorities. You should refer it to the Indian authorities for the details of this search.
