Yes Bank has received a demand notice of ₹244.20 crore from the Income Tax Department for the assessment year 2016–17. According to a regulatory filing on April 16, 2025, the reassessment order incorrectly considered the income reported in the return rather than the previously assessed income. As a result, the Jurisdictional Assessing Officer (JAO) passed a rectification order on April 15, 2025, recomputing the tax demand. However, the revised computation significantly increased the tax demand without clear justification, according to the bank. Yes Bank plans to challenge the demand by immediately filing a rectification application with the JAO. The bank also stated it will explore all legal remedies, including an appeal, as it believes the additional tax liability is unsubstantiated.
