“The order has been passed on the basis of an erroneous understanding that appeal filed by the company before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) against the assessment order under Section 143(3) has been dismissed, whereas the same is still alive and pending adjudication,” the regulatory filing read.
IndiGo believes the said “order passed by Income Tax Authority is not in accordance with law and is erroneous and frivolous.” Accordingly, the company will contest the same and shall take appropriate legal remedies against the aforesaid order, it added.
