FAQ :

The Supreme Court is reviewing a contentious £33,000 crore income tax claim made against Jaypee Infratech Ltd (JIL).

The tax claim affects 22,000 homebuyers who are awaiting the completion of their properties.

The NCLT approved the acquisition of JIL by the Suraksha consortium. The NCLAT later endorsed Suraksha's plan, including the tax liabilities, after the Income Tax department abstained from objecting during NCLT proceedings.

The Supreme Court has directed the Central Board of Direct Taxes to provide a detailed affidavit within a month and has summoned the Commissioner of Income Tax, Noida, to justify the tax directives.

The case is significant as it scrutinises the inclusion of tax liabilities in insolvency resolution plans, potentially impacting the integrity of the framework and the decision-making power of Creditors' Committees.
