Merger control notice and disclosure rules: Supreme Court limits penalties, rejects reopening of approved combination, and sets aside adverse findings...
Binding interim High Court directions treating Leave Travel Concession reimbursements as non-income for TDS purposes prevented bank branches from being treated as assessees in default for non-deduction on reimbursements involving foreign travel.

A subsequent merits decision on the exemption issue could not retrospectively impose default liability. Consequently, demands for default and related interest were set aside.
