The Income Tax Authority had raised an additional tax demand of ₹20.61 crore for Assessment Year 2020-21, citing higher adjustments to carry forward loss and MAT credit from earlier years. The company challenged this by filing an appeal with the First Appellate Authority on April 3, 2025, and simultaneously filed a rectification application under Section 154. The Assistant Commissioner of Income Tax disposed of this application on May 20, 2026, quashing the entire demand and ordering a refund of ₹20.57 crore to the company. This represents a complete win for Paradeep Phosphates in this tax dispute.
Positive for shareholders as the company eliminates a ₹20.61 crore liability and receives a ₹20.57 crore refund, improving its cash position.
