Vodafone Shares Gains Up To 4% After Winning Rs. 833 Cr Tax Dispute

On Wednesday the Supreme Court dismissed a petition by the Income Tax Department challenging a Bombay High Court judgment that ordered it to refund Rs 833 crore to Vodafone Idea Ltd.

The refund was held by the income tax (I-T) department citing possible future demands.

In the previous instance, the high court upheld that such an authority was not existent at the time of assessment year 2014-15. The revenue department filed a special leave petition against the high court order in the apex court. The refund amount increased from Rs 733 crore to Rs 833 crore after rectification.

This is a tiny relief amid the huge AGR payment which the cash strapped telco has to pay.
