Niva Bupa Health Insurance Company Limited has received a Notice of Demand from the Assistant Commissioner of Income Tax, seeking payment of ₹51.96 crore for the assessment year 2021-22. This demand includes ₹16.88 crore in interest, primarily due to disallowed marketing and advertisement expenses, as well as issues related to claims incurred but not reported.

This development may heighten investor scrutiny around the company’s operational expenses and tax compliance, presenting both challenges and a potential opportunity for management to address these financial implications.
