Key Notes  to the statement of accounts

The Company has received Assessment orders for Assessment year 2004-05 to 2010-11 passed by Dy. Commissioner Income Tax, Centre Circle, Mumbai U/s 153A r.w.s. 143(3) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and also received demand notice U/s 156 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. As per the said demand notice, the Income Tax department has raised demand for Income Tax and interest thereon for an amount of Rs. 1,573.24 millions. However, the company has contested the said order and the demand raised thereon by filing appeal before Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals).


The Auditors have qualified their audit report for non-provision of the said amount indicating that had the provision been made, profit after tax would have been lower and provision for income-tax would have been higher by the corresponding amount.

The Company is confident that it will succeed in the appeal filed based on the available documents & evidence and the liability will not get materialized.
