Deepak fertilisers & petrochemicals Corporation Limited has informed stock exchanges about an income tax demand order received by its material subsidiary, Deepak Mining Solutions Limited (DMSL), amounting to ₹3,45,75,555 for Assessment Year 2024-25.

Tax Demand Details

The income tax demand was issued by the Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax, Central Circle, under section 143(3) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The company received the order dated January 29, 2026, on February 2, 2026, around 10:32 AM.

Nature of Violation

The Assessing Officer (AO) made disallowance of depreciation on 'intangible assets' that were recorded in DMSL's books of accounts for the first time due to the demerger of TAN business to DMSL. This disallowance resulted in the substantial tax demand against the subsidiary.

Company's Response and Impact Assessment

Deepak Fertilisers has stated that there is no material impact on the financials, operations, or other activities of either the parent company or DMSL. The company's confidence stems from previous favorable decisions by the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal in earlier years for similar issues.

Legal Strategy

DMSL has taken the legal view that:

• The demand is not tenable based on tribunal precedents
• The order is liable to be set aside in appeal
• The company will challenge the order at an appropriate forum

Regulatory Compliance

The disclosure was made pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The information has also been made available on the company's website at www.dfpcl.com , ensuring full transparency with stakeholders and regulatory authorities.
