The Assessing Officer, vide order dated May 30, 2023 passed under Section 147 of the Income-
tax Act, 1961 (“Act”), had made an addition of ₹13.40 crore (₹13,39,79,699) to the income of
the Company for Assessment Year 2017–18 by disallowing the exemption claimed on dividend
income under Section 10(35) of the Act and adding it back under Section 68 of the Act. The
Company had filed an appeal against the said order before the CIT(A), which was dismissed vide
order dated April 27, 2026. Subsequently, the Company filed a further appeal (ITA No.
5803/MUM/2026) before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, Mumbai ‘G’ Bench (“ITAT”).

ITAT in ITA No. 5803/MUM/2026, wherein the appeal filed by the Company has been allowed.
The ITAT has held that the notice issued under Section 148 of the Act was invalid since the
approval for issuing the same was not obtained from the specified authority prescribed under
Section 151 of the Act, and has accordingly quashed the said notice and the consequential
reassessment order dated May 30, 2023 as invalid and void ab initio. Accordingly, the addition
of ₹13.40 crore made to the income of the Company for Assessment Year 2017–18 will be

The Company will take the necessary steps in accordance with the aforesaid order, including
