Dabur India Ltd has received relief from the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT), which quashed a ₹593.7 million tax demand. The company confirmed that the order eliminates any financial liability and reinforces its stance that the demand was erroneously calculated and unsupported by records.
Dabur India Ltd, one of India’s leading FMCG companies, announced that the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) has quashed a tax demand amounting to ₹593.7 million. The demand, previously raised under Section 154 of the Income Tax Act, was deemed erroneous and has now been nullified following Dabur’s appeal.
The company stated that the demand was based on a misinterpretation of records and had no material impact on its financials. The ITAT’s decision brings clarity and closure to the matter, allowing Dabur to focus on its core operations without the overhang of tax litigation.
Key highlights from the announcement include:
-
The original demand was part of a revised income tax order dated September 17, 2025.
-
Dabur had consistently maintained that the demand was a mistake apparent from the record.
-
The ITAT ruling confirms that no financial obligation remains from the disputed amount.
-
The company has assured stakeholders that its tax compliance remains robust and transparent.
This resolution is not expected to affect Dabur’s earnings or operational outlook.
