ICICI Prudential Life Insurance has received an income tax assessment order for Assessment Year 2024-25 from the Assistant Commissioner of Income Tax, Central Circle 6(2), Mumbai on March 23, 2026. The tax department raised five issues, including treating negative reserves as taxable surplus, considering shareholder-to-policyholder fund transfers as income, disallowing certain exemptions under Section 10, applying Section 14A disallowance on exempt income, and taxing shareholder income under 'income from other sources.' The total financial implication mentioned in the order is about ₹391 crore (₹347 crore tax + ₹44 crore interest), with no penalty. The company has stated that similar issues have been ruled in its favour by higher authorities in earlier years and intends to file an appeal before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals).
The demand is sizeable but the company is contesting it, citing favourable precedents in its own prior cases. Since the company itself has disclosed 'no impact at this stage' pending appeal, the immediate effect on shareholders should be limited, though the final outcome of the appeal will be material.
