Delhi Court Rejects ₹1 Crore Tax Refund for Partnership Firm
The Delhi High Court dismissed a partnership firm's petition for a refund of ₹1 crore that it had paid to settle one partner's outstanding income‑tax demands. The court held that the payment was not voluntarily made under the partnership constitution, and therefore the firm is not entitled to a refund, leaving the tax liability unchanged for the partner involved.
