Indian Overseas Bank has received a tax demand notice of Rs. 1,742.96 Crores from the National Faceless Assessment Unit (NFAC) of the Income Tax Department. The demand relates to Assessment Year 2024-25 and stems from disallowances and additions made in the assessment order under Section 143(3) read with Section 144B of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The bank stated it is in the process of filing an appeal before the appropriate forum to challenge the order. The bank believes it has strong factual and legal grounds to contest the demand and expects the entire amount to be set aside on appeal, based on precedents from appellate authorities. No penalty or restriction has been imposed, and the bank says there is no expected impact on its financial position or operations.
While the demand size is large, the bank is actively contesting it and expects the full amount to be overturned on appeal, so near-term impact on earnings or operations is likely limited. However, the stock could see some volatility until the appeal outcome is known, as a Rs. 1,742 Crore demand is significant relative to the bank's size.
