TMB receives rectification order, reducing Income Tax demand from ₹204 Cr to ₹2.93 Cr
Tamilnad Mercantile Bank Limited received a rectification order from the Income Tax Department. The tax demand for AY 2013-14 has been reduced from ₹204.23 crore to ₹2.93 crore. The bank anticipates no material financial impact from this revised order.
While the reduction in tax demand is positive, the initial demand was substantial, and the final impact on financials needs to be fully assessed. However, the company's statement of no material impact suggests a contained effect.
The reduction in the tax demand by over ₹200 crore is a significant positive development for the company.
Tamilnad Mercantile Bank Limited (TMB) has received a Rectification Order from the Office of the Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax, Circle 1, Tirunelveli, significantly reducing a previously issued demand notice.

The revised demand, as per the Rectification Order dated May 14, 2026, has been reduced to ₹2,93,39,404 (₹2.93 crore) for the Assessment Year 2013-14. This reduction is in respect to the claim made under Section 36(1)(viia) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, which was initially disallowed.
The bank has stated that this revised notice will not have a material impact on its financial statements. The company has provided the requisite disclosure as per Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
