What happened
FactThe Income Tax Appellate Tribunal’s Chennai ‘D’ Bench allowed the company’s appeal for AY 2022-23 and set aside the final assessment order issued by the National Faceless Assessment Unit. The order eliminates a ₹1.17 crore tax demand relating primarily to transfer-pricing adjustments and disallowance of scientific research expenditure.
