Sasken Technologies announced a reduction in its contingent liability following an order from the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) Bengaluru. The order, received by the company on July 1, 2026, addresses appeals for Assessment Years 2017-18 and 2020-21.

The company anticipates receiving refunds for the corresponding amounts from the Income-tax Department.

The ITAT ruled that no Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) was applicable on payments made by the overseas branches of Sasken Technologies. Consequently, the tribunal deleted the disallowances previously made under Sections 14A and 80G of the Income-tax Act. However, the tribunal sustained the disallowance of a specific payment amounting to ₹7 lakh that was made to a resident of the United Kingdom.

The order pertains to ITA Nos. 2057 and 2058/Bang/2025. The resolution of these tax disputes marks a favourable outcome for the company, directly impacting its financial statements by reducing the provisions set aside for these litigations.
