Nestle India Wins ₹101 Crore Tax Battle as Supreme Court Dismisses Appeals

  • The Supreme Court of India dismissed income tax department appeals against Nestle India, providing relief in a ₹101.21 crore tax dispute.
  • The case involved the disallowance of general licensing fees for financial years 1996-1998, 1999-2001, and 2004-2008.
  • Income tax authorities had argued that the licensing fee payments were excessive and unreasonable.
  • Nestle India had previously won the case up to the Delhi High Court level before the department appealed to the Supreme Court.
  • The company clarified that no key management personnel, promoters, or persons in control were involved, and no settlement was made.
