Aeroflex Subsidiary Faces ₹41.76 Crore Tax Demand; Company Plans Appeal
Aeroflex Enterprises Limited's subsidiary received a tax demand of ₹41.76 crore from the Income Tax Department concerning disallowed interest waiver on a working capital loan. The subsidiary plans to appeal the order, expecting no material financial impact.
While the company intends to appeal and expects no material financial impact, the tax demand itself is substantial and could impact liquidity if the appeal is unsuccessful.
The company faces a significant tax demand from the Income Tax Department, which is a negative development.
Aeroflex Enterprises Limited (AEL) has disclosed that its subsidiary, Aeroflex Industries Limited, has received an order from the Income Tax Department demanding ₹41,75,88,940. This demand pertains to the disallowance of a claim for waiver of interest on a working capital loan under a one-time settlement, which the department considers non-taxable under Section 41 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, for the assessment year 2018-2019.
The order, issued under Section 147 read with Section 144B of the Income Tax Act, 1961, was received by the subsidiary on March 25, 2026, at 10:17 PM. Despite the potential financial implications, Aeroflex Industries Limited intends to file an appeal before the Appellate Authority within the prescribed timeline. The company expressed optimism for a favorable outcome and stated that it does not anticipate a material financial impact on its operations.
Aeroflex Enterprises Limited also explained the delay in disclosing this information. The order was received late on March 25, 2026, and the concerned personnel were on leave on March 26, 2026, due to the Ashtami and Ram Navami festivals. Upon resuming duties on March 27, 2026, the matter was promptly escalated for necessary action.
