stayed abroad only for 92 days and not
186 days as claimed by her in 1996. The
tax authorities ordered an income tax of
Rs. 14 lakhs along with an interest, which
would amount to Rs. 50 lakhs. Ash duly contested
against this order and got a partial relief.
She also a filed a suit claiming that the
income tax department has no rights to recalculate
her earnings. In 2007, the Income Tax Tribunal
ordered the case in favor of Aiswarya Rai
Bachchan. The IT Department has now filed
an appeal at the Mumbai High Court against
this order. |
