Barua Steps Down Due to Increased Workload

Swiggy, a leading food and grocery delivery platform in India, has recently been issued a profession tax assessment order amounting to Rs 7.59 crore by the Office of the Profession Tax Officer, Pune. The order pertains to the period from April 2021 to March 2022 and alleges a violation of the Maharashtra State Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings & Employments Act, 1975. Specifically, Swiggy is accused of failing to appropriately deduct profession tax from its employees' salaries.
