LG Electronics India Receives ₹8.23 Crore Penalty Order from Income Tax Dept.
LG Electronics India received a penalty order of ₹8.23 crore from the Income Tax Department for FY 2013-14. This is related to tax adjustments on a ₹24.22 crore incentive. The company believes it has a strong case and intends to appeal the order, expecting no substantial financial impact.
The penalty amount of ₹8.23 crore is significant. However, the company's statement that there will be no substantial impact on financial operations and its strong belief in winning the appeal mitigates the impact to medium.
The company has received a penalty order from the Income Tax Department, which is a negative development. Although the company believes it has a strong case and intends to appeal, the initial imposition of a penalty is considered negative.
LG Electronics India Limited has received a penalty order dated June 19, 2026, from the Income Tax Department, Ministry of Finance, Government of India. The penalty, amounting to ₹8,23,53,445 (INR 8,23,53,445), has been levied under section 271(1)(c) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, for the financial year 2013-14.
This penalty follows earlier tax adjustments made by the Income Tax Department concerning the taxability of an incentive received from the Uttar Pradesh Government, which amounted to ₹24,22,87,278 (INR 24,22,87,278). The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) had confirmed these adjustments in an order dated October 15, 2025. LG Electronics India Limited has filed an appeal in the Delhi High Court against the ITAT order.
The company has stated that this penalty order is not expected to have a substantial impact on its financial operations or activities. LG Electronics India Limited believes it has a strong case, citing favorable decisions by ITAT in similar penalty proceedings for the financial years 2002-03, 2003-04, and 2006-07. The company intends to file an appeal against the current penalty order before the appropriate authority.
