UTI AMC received an Income Tax Penalty Order of ₹3.31 crore for Assessment Year 2020-21. The penalty relates to disallowances during FY 2019-20 assessment. The company plans to appeal the order and does not expect a material impact on its operations.
While the company states no material impact is foreseen, a penalty of ₹3.31 crore can have a financial impact and requires an appeal process, indicating a medium level of impact.
The company has received a penalty order from the Income Tax Department, which is a negative development.
UTI Asset Management Company Limited (UTIAMC) has disclosed the receipt of an Income Tax Penalty Order for ₹3,31,66,997/- from the Assessment Unit Income Tax Department (National Faceless Assessment Centre). The order, issued under section 270A of the Income Tax Act, 1961, pertains to the Assessment Year 2020-21.
The penalty was levied consequent to the disallowance of certain items during the assessment proceedings for FY 2019-20. The company stated that it does not foresee any material impact on its operations or other activities due to this order. Any financial impact would be limited to the penalty amount and other potential levies, subject to the outcome of an appeal.
UTIAMC intends to file an appeal against the order before the appropriate appellate authority within the prescribed timelines. The company has also made this intimation available on its website, www.utimf.com, in compliance with SEBI Listing Regulations.
