PNB Housing Finance faces ₹107.92 Crore tax demand; disputes order
PNB Housing Finance received a tax demand of ₹107.92 crore for AY 2019-20 and 2020-21 due to disallowed expenses. The company plans to file a rectification application, citing errors in the order, and expects no material financial impact.
The tax demand of over ₹107 crore is substantial. While the company is contesting it and expects no material impact, the pendency of litigation and potential financial implications warrant a medium impact assessment.
The company has received a significant tax demand, which is a negative development. However, the company's belief in a favorable outcome and the expectation of no material financial impact temper the negativity, leading to a neutral sentiment.
PNB Housing Finance Limited has received an order dated December 22, 2025, from the Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax, Central Circle 14, Delhi, pertaining to Assessment Years (AY) 2019-20 and 2020-21. The order, passed under section 153C r.w.s.153A r.w.s.144 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, disallows certain revenue expenses and deductions, resulting in a total demand of ₹107,92,10,700/-, with ₹91,33,53,370/- for AY 2020-21 and ₹16,58,57,330/- for AY 2019-20.
The company noted that the order contains inadvertent errors, including the application of incorrect tax rates. Consequently, PNB Housing Finance plans to file a rectification application under section 154 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, before the assessing officer. It was also stated that no additional disallowances were made beyond those identified in regular assessment proceedings, against which the company has already filed an appeal with the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, Delhi.
Based on its assessment, the company is hopeful of a favorable outcome and does not reasonably expect this matter to have any material financial impact.
