Kalpataru Limited Subsidiary Receives Favourable Income Tax Appeal Orders from Mumbai Commissioner for Five Assessment Years

Kalpataru Subsidiary Receives Favorable Tax Appeal Orders Spanning Five Years

On March 24, 2026, Kalpataru Limited disclosed that a subsidiary received favorable income tax appeal orders from the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) in Mumbai. The CIT(A) issued orders under Section 250 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 for assessment years 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23, and 2023-24.

Substantial Relief on Disputed Additions

The Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) decision substantially reduced additions to income previously made by the Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax. The appellate authority reduced the additions to income for all the concerned assessment years, effectively minimising the financial impact on the company.

Real estate companies often deal with complex tax structures, making appellate mechanisms crucial, as appellate authorities play a role in ensuring fair assessment and reducing undue financial burdens on companies.

Further Appeals Filed by Revenue

The matter has not yet reached final resolution. The Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax has filed appeals with the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) against the subsidiary, challenging orders for assessment years 2022-23 and 2023-24. The subsidiary has stated that it will contest the appeals filed by the DCIT and remains hopeful of a favorable outcome.

Beyond income tax matters, the sector routinely addresses goods and services tax and other compliance obligations as part of ongoing operations.

About the Appellate Process

Under the Indian Income Tax Act, assessment orders passed by assessing officers can be appealed first to the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), and subsequently to the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal. Orders from the CIT(A) typically result from detailed examination of both the tax department's position and the taxpayer's submissions, with relief granted where the appellate authority finds the original assessment excessive or unsupported by evidence.
