Former Central Board of Direct Taxes chairman K V Chowdary has been given a three-month extension as advisor to the special investigation team (SIT) on black money.

The finance ministry on Friday issued orders for the extension of the senior Indian Revenue Services officer, following which his term will now end on July 31.

He was appointed advisor to the high-powered panel in November 2014 for a period of six months which ended on Thursday.

Chowdary has been assisting the SIT and its two heads, retired judges M B Shah and Arijit Pasayat in conducting its operations along with various probe agencies on its panel.
