The Bombay High Court has admitted an appeal filed by the Income Tax authorities, challenging relief granted to Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan by Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT).
A Division Bench headed by Justice S Radhakrishnan admitted the appeal by IT authorities over Aishwarya’s tax assessment for the financial year 1996-1997. On Monday, the court admitted the income tax department’s appeal challenging the exemption sought by her by virtue of being a non-resident Indian (NRI).
In 1995-96, Aishwarya Rai had sought an income tax exemption on 50,000 pounds that she won after bagging the Miss World title. She had claimed to be an NRI in that period as she shot to international fame and globetrotted. MORE
Miss Chandni has opined that Ash deserves the same tax-free for life status that Colombia's Luz Marina Zuluaga, Miss Universe 1958, enjoys. If you feel the same, please sign Miss Chandni's petition to the ITAT - you can sign it all this week at Cafe Zulu.
