What the company has informed

Duroply Industries has updated the exchanges on its income-tax matter. The company had earlier disclosed an income-tax demand of Rs. 5,827.57 lacs for Assessment Year 2018-19, which it challenged by way of a Writ Petition before the Hon'ble High Court at Calcutta.

What the High Court has done

• The Hon'ble High Court at Calcutta, vide its order dated October 6, 2026, has set aside the final assessment order passed on March 18, 2021 by the Assessing Authority.
• The matter has been remitted back to the Assessing Authority.
• The Assessing Authority will pass an appropriate assessment order upon providing the Company an opportunity of placing its case.

Background of the demand

• The Income Tax Department raised a demand of Rs. 5,827.57 Lacs under section 156 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 for AY 2018-19.
• This followed the assessment order under section 143(3) dated March 18, 2021.
• The Company challenged that demand in a Writ Petition before the Hon'ble High Court at Calcutta.

How a reader can understand this

• Setting aside means the earlier assessment order no longer stands, and the issue is to be looked at afresh by the Assessing Authority.
• The Company gets an opportunity to place its case before a fresh order is passed.
• The matter is not concluded at this stage; a fresh assessment order is to follow.
