“Pursuant to the income tax assessment of the company and consequent adjustment in the returned income for the Assessment Year 2020-21, a penalty is levied on such adjustment to the returned income,” it said.
However, the conglomerate said it will file an appeal against this order as it “does not agree with this levy” and expects a favourable outcome at the higher forum.
