Govt Slaps Samsung With Tax Demand Of $601 Mn
Hindustan Times Lucknow
|March 26, 2025
India has ordered Samsung and its executives in the country to pay $601 million in back taxes and penalties for dodging tariffs on import of key telecoms equipment, a government order showed, for one of the biggest such demands in recent years.
NEW DELHI:
The demand represents a substantial chunk of last year's net profit of $955 million for Samsung in India, where it is one of the largest players in the consumer electronics and smartphones market. It can be challenged in a tax tribunal or the courts.
The company, which also imports telecoms equipment through its network division, received a warning in 2023 for misclassifying imports to evade tariffs of 10% or 20% on a critical transmission component used in mobile towers.
It imported and sold these items to billionaire Mukesh Ambani's telecom giant, Reliance Jio.

Veterans take centre stage in Bihar political battleground
In line with the local adage ‘saatha so paatha (men are hale and hearty even at sixty)’ Bihar's politics has always rewarded endurance more than novelty. Even as younger faces crowd the political arena, a formidable band of veteran leaders—many well past 70—continues to shape the state's electoral story.
