The Hyderabad unit of the income tax (I-T) department has issued a provisional property attachment order dated January 30, to Mahindra Satyam.
This provisional order to attach land and buildings of Mahindra Satyam is related to I-T department’s previous notices issued to the company seeking tax of Rs 617 crore. The said tax demand was for the assessment years (AY) between 2003-04 to 2008-09, during the tenure of the founder and the then chairman of Satyam Computer Services Ltd, B Ramalinga Raju.
