IIFL Finance Shares Decline After Rs 963 Crore Tax Demand on Subsidiary
Shares of IIFL Finance declined following a Rs 963.39 crore income tax demand issued to its subsidiary, IIFL Home Finance, covering April 2018 to February 2025. The demand includes additions related to overriding commission income, interest strip assets, Section 36(1)(viii) deductions, and ESOP expenses. IIFL Home Finance disputes these claims, citing prior taxation and improper credit consideration, and is pursuing appeals. Separately, IIFL Finance secured a stay on a separate Rs 475.56 crore tax demand, with installment payments underway. Both companies do not expect material financial impact.
