The company has clarified that it believes that the order is not reasonable and hence will challenge the same by filing an e-appeal on April 22, 2026, through the National Faceless Appeal Centre, which operates under the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals). The main issue is that tax authorities slapped on several disallowances and additions, mainly under Sections 80IA and 80JJA. The total is about Rs 42.54 crore. Dalmia Bharat seems pretty sure they will get relief once the appeal process wraps up. So far, they haven’t highlighted any major financial hit, but to be honest, things are still uncertain. They promised to keep the stock exchanges in the loop if anything big changes.
