Dear Sir, Madam,
Sub: Disclosure under Regulation(s) 30 read with 51 of the Securities and Exchange

This is further to our disclosure dated July 22, 2026 in connection with material tax litigation
reported in the Integrated Filing (Governance) of Tata Steel Limited (‘Company’) for quarter
ended June 30, 2026.
Background:
The Company, through its earlier disclosures, had informed that the relevant income tax
authorities have disallowed the Company’s claims of deduction for interest expenditure under
Section 36(1)(iii) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, in respect of loans borrowed and utilized by the
Company for acquisition of Corus Group Plc, foreign subsidiary, for the period FY2008 through
FY2015. The aggregate tax exposure arising from this issue for the entire period is ~₹1,901
crore. The Company had, from time to time, filed appeal against these orders of the income tax
authorities before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (‘Authority’).
Case of FY2008
After several hearings, on February 27, 2026, the Company received a favourable order dated
February 20, 2026 from the Authority for FY2008 (‘Order 1’) wherein the claim of deduction for
interest expenditure was allowed. The tax exposure for FY2008 is ~₹215 crore. Accordingly, the
tax exposure against the Company will get reduce from ~₹1,901 crore to ~₹1,686 crore once
the Assessing Officer will give effect to this Order 1 through a consequential separate order. The
Company has made necessary disclosures in this regard to the stock exchanges on
February 28, 2026.
Case of FY2009
For the period FY2009, the Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax, Circle 2(3)(1), Mumbai vide
his order dated January 10, 2014 had disallowed the claim of ₹813.65 crore towards deduction
for interest expenditure under Section 36(1)(iii) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. On
February 4, 2014, the Company had filed an appeal against the order before the Authority. The
matter was heard over multiple hearings.
Present Status:
The final hearing in the matter of FY2009 took place before the Authority in June 2026. The
Company, on September 28, 2026, received a favourable order dated September 18, 2026
(‘Order 2’) from the Authority wherein the claim of deduction for interest expenditure was allowed
following the earlier Order 1 for FY2008. The tax exposure for FY2009 is ~₹427 crore.
Accordingly, the tax exposure against the Company will get reduced from ~₹1,686 crore to
~₹1,259 crore once the Assessing Officer will give effect to this Order 2 through a consequential
separate order. Subsequently, the Company will make necessary adjustments in its contingent
liability reported in notes to its Financial Statements.
The Company believes that these Orders passed by the Authority will have persuasive impact
on co-related pending litigations on the same issue for the period FY2010 to FY2015 as
mentioned above.
This disclosure is being made by the Company in compliance with Regulations 30 and 51 of the
Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements)
