SBI Life Tax Demand Slashed After Income Tax Rectification Order

An announcement from SBI Life Insurance Co. Ltd. ( (IN:SBILIFE) ) is now available.

SBI Life Insurance has disclosed that it received a rectification order from the Income Tax Department for FY 2021-2022, correcting an earlier assessment that had significantly overstated its tax liability. The revised order, issued by the Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax in Mumbai under Sections 154 and 143(3) of the Income Tax Act, follows a rectification application filed by the company over erroneous tax computation.

As a result of the rectification, the total tax demand has been reduced from Rs. 5,317.18 crore to Rs. 470.88 crore, with tax reduced from Rs. 4,286.63 crore to Rs. 315.84 crore and interest from Rs. 1,030.55 crore to Rs. 155.04 crore, while no penalty has been imposed. SBI Life has already filed an appeal against the original order with the Commissioner of Appeals and plans to submit the rectification order to the appellate authority, easing a substantial potential financial burden and reducing regulatory overhang for shareholders and other stakeholders.
