Timken India Limited, a leading manufacturer of engineered bearings and industrial motion products, informed the exchanges that it has received an income tax assessment order for FY 2022–23, passed by the Income Tax Department, Assessment Unit on 18 December 2025.
The order, issued under Sections 143(3), 144C(13), and 144B of the Income Tax Act, relates to transactions with Timken’s associated enterprises in its distribution segment. The department has disallowed the company’s method of determining the arm’s length price (ALP) and adopted alternate methods, recalculating taxable income ₹89.08 crore higher than the company’s declared amount.
Consequently, a demand notice under Section 156 was issued for ₹74.77 crore, including interest under Sections 234A, 234B, and 234C.
Timken India stated that it considers the order erroneous and unsustainable and will file an appeal before the relevant authority. The company added that no immediate financial or operational impact is expected.
