Income Tax search in Apollo Hospitals group (UPDATE)
Advertisement
The Income Tax department on Tuesday searched offices of the Apollo Hospitals group in Chennai and other places for possible tax evasion.
Department officials declined to comment on the issue further.
"The IT department visited our hospitals today (Tuesday) and we extended our complete cooperation to them. We have always conducted ourselves with the highest degree of diligence and would like to reassure our patients, shareholders and stakeholders that we shall uphold their trust and faith in us," the group said in a statement.
Meanwhile, when reports of the search operation first came in, shares of Apollo Hospitals, which had scaled a high of Rs.1,497, fell to Rs.1,431.55 on the Bombay Stock Exchange.
The shares, however, staged a recovery when unattributed statements from the department said the operations were a routine affair. The scrip finally ended at Rs.1,466.75, with a gain of Rs.19.60, or 1.35 percent, over the previous close.
