Meesho receives Rs 1,500 Cr tax demand for 2023-24 E-commerce marketplace Meesho has received a tax demand of nearly Rs 1,500 crore from the Income Tax Department for the assessment year 2023-24, according to its regulatory filing with the stock exchanges. The Bengaluru-based company said the tax authority issued an assessment order under Section 143(3) of the Income-tax Act along with a demand notice under Section 156, which raised a total demand of Rs 1,499.7 crore, including applicable interest. The demand follows certain additions and adjustments made by the tax department to the income reported by the company for the assessment year. Meesho stated that it does not agree with the observations and adjustments made in the assessment order and is currently evaluating the matter. The company added that it believes it has adequate legal and factual grounds to contest the demand and is taking necessary steps to protect its interests. The company also said that the tax department issued a similar demand for the previous assessment year (2022–23). In that case, the Karnataka High Court granted an interim stay on the demand notice through an order dated April 17, 2025, and the case remains pending. According to the company, the latest assessment order and demand notice are not expected to have any major adverse impact on its financial position, operations, or other activities. Meesho reported a 31% year-on-year growth in operating revenue to Rs 3,517.5 crore in Q3 FY26, while its losses surged over 13X to Rs 490 crore during the same period.
