Mumbai: On Thursday, a survey of the accounts at Shah Rukh Khan's production company, Red Chillies Entertainment, at 14th Road, Khar (W) was carried out by the Income Tax (I-T) department.

Sources say the survey began in the afternoon and continued on late into the night.

The actor's secretary, Karuna, told a daily, "It's not a raid, not even a search, but just a survey of the TDS (Tax Deduction at Source). It's not a serious thing and is a normal official process by the I-T department."

Shah Rukh is currently in Australia on a shooting for Yash Chopra's Chak De India being directed by Shimit Amin. He is expected to return to Mumbai the first week of December.
