Central Bank of India has received a ₹296.08 crore demand notice from the Income Tax Department for a shortfall in tax payment related to FY25.
The notice was issued under provisions of the Income Tax Act following an assessment for the Assessment Year 2024–25, asking the bank to pay the specified tax liability.
However, the bank has clarified that it disagrees with the assessment order and plans to challenge it through appropriate legal channels.
Importantly, the bank has stated that this demand will not have any material impact on its financials, operations, or business activities, indicating confidence in its legal position.
Such tax notices are not uncommon in the banking sector, where institutions often contest assessments, and final outcomes may change after appeals.
Do you think such tax notices create real risk for banks — or are they just routine legal processes?
