Dabur India receives erroneous income tax demand of ₹ 279.13 crore for AY 2017-18
The company clearly states that the tax demand is an erroneous calculation and expects no financial implications, as it will file an application for rectification. This indicates a low impact on the company's financials or operations.
The company has received a significantly high tax demand due to an alleged calculation error. While the amount is large, the company has explicitly stated that the demand is erroneous, expects no financial implication, and plans to file for rectification, suggesting the issue is a procedural mistake rather than a confirmed liability.
* Dabur India Limited received an order dated August 01, 2025, from the Assistant Commissioner of Income Tax, Circle 7(1), Delhi, concerning Assessment Year (AY) 2017-18. * The company had previously received an income-tax demand of ₹ 55.71 crore on March 08, 2021, for AY 2017-18, which was appealed. * The latest order, issued under Section 154 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, erroneously assessed a tax demand of ₹ 279.13 crore. * The company states that the order should have enhanced an income addition of ₹ 4.38 crore, leading to a demand of just ₹ 1.53 crore. * Therefore, the correct total demand should be ₹ 55.71 crore plus ₹ 1.53 crore, not ₹ 279.13 crore, making the current assessed demand misleading. * The addition of ₹ 4.38 crore was already appealed by the company before the CIT (Appeal) in 2021 and is pending adjudication. * Dabur India will be filing an application under Section 154 of the Act to rectify the aforesaid demand, as it is a mistake apparent from records. * The company expects no financial implication due to this order.
