Dr Reddy’s has received a ₹2,395 crore tax demand from the Income Tax Department.
The demand notice was issued following a show cause notice received by the company on April 4, 2025, regarding its tax returns for the Assessment Year 2020-21.
Dr Reddy’s stated that the scheme of amalgamation approved by the NCLT in Hyderabad in 2022 was conducted in compliance with all legal requirements, including tax laws.
The company believes there was no tax evasion as a result of the merger and assesses that the demand will not materially impact its financials, operations, or activities.
