Fresh Rs 1,700 Crore Notice To Congress By Income Tax Department: Sources

The fresh tax notice to the Congress is for assessment years 2017-18 to 2020-21 and includes penalty and interest, sources said.

The Congress has received a Rs 1,700 crore notice from the Income Tax Department, a day after the Delhi High Court dismissed the party's petition challenging the tax notices, according to sources.

The fresh notice is for assessment years 2017-18 to 2020-21 and includes penalty and interest, sources said.

In February, the I-T department had found fault in the party's tax returns and demanded Rs 200 crore. The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) had asked the party to pay the dues and froze their accounts.
