NIIT MTS Faces Rs 14.93 Crore Tax Demand: A Rectifiable Mistake

Corporate training solutions provider, NIIT Learning Systems Ltd (NIIT MTS), is contending with a Rs 14.93 crore tax demand from the Income Tax Department for assessment year 2023-24. The notice, arising from faceless assessment proceedings, cites an error in the computation.

The Assessment Unit issued a Notice of Demand under Sections 143(3) and 156 of the Income-tax Act, 1961, prompting NIIT MTS to respond. Faced with this demand, NIIT MTS highlighted an apparent mistake involving short credit of prepaid taxes as a cause.

Confident in their position, NIIT MTS plans to file an application for rectification under Section 154, asserting that the demand will be corrected without impacting their financials or operations.
