    Income Tax department fines NDTV Rs.525 crore for false transactions

    Income Tax department fines NDTV Rs.525 crore for false transactions
    Credits:
  • India's IT Department fined media and journalism giant New Delhi Television (NDTV) with a penalty amount of Rs.525 crore for tax evasion.

    The department slapped the fine on NDTV for not declaring incomes amounting to over Rs.642 crore.

    It was found that the earnings were gained through false-transactions that NDTV had initiated in 2008.

    The court hearing for the same was on 16th Aug.

    NDTV claims they 'sold a dream'

    NDTV claims they 'sold a dream'
  • When the Income Tax department raised allegations of NDTV's tax evasion, the company retaliated back stating that they had 'sold a dream'.

    The evasive answer was provided to the IT department, with claims that the revenue generated were from share transfers and dividends from a firm based out of a tax haven.

    After IT served the notice, reports said NDTV had not responded yet.

  • Quote

    Sham transaction uncovered

  • "No details have been filed whatsoever for the so-called business projections and the basis of compulsion of the sale price of the share at Rs. 7015 which is 159 times of its face value of Rs. 45," the IT Department's notice said.

  • The IT Department's 14-page notice that was sent to NDTV traced the earnings of over $150 million to NBC Universal and Universal Studios.

    The money was channelled through NDTV's shell company, NDTV Networks PLC.

    This was said to be done to avoid paying taxes, according to the IT Department.

    The false transaction was brought to light when NDTV did not report them in 2010.

    NDTV's financial troubles
  • The media giant, launched as a 24/7 channel 15 years ago, from the Prime Minister's residence, has now dimmed to a conglomerate that is vying for journalistic grasp amidst financial distress for the company.

    The company sunk into financial troubles when it raised a lot of debt, especially around 2008 when the market had crashed.

    NDTV is also facing a Rs.2030 crore FEMA notice.

    Furthermore, the government said, "21 such orders had been issued by the UPA governments since 2005".
