Overview
- The Income Tax Department told Justice C. Saravanan that the Poes Garden residence was attached during Jayalalithaa’s lifetime for non-payment of tax.
- The dues cover income-tax assessments from 1991–92 to 2006–07 and wealth-tax from 1992–93 to 2015–16, with interest recoverable under law.
- J. Deepa and J. Deepak were named legal heirs in 2020 and received recovery intimations on July 13 and August 4, 2025.
- Deepa has challenged the August 4 communication in a writ petition, while Deepak was permitted to pay ₹6.75 crore in six monthly instalments from October 2025 to March 2026.
- Partial payments were made in October and November 2025, but ₹62.50 lakh was credited under Deepak’s PAN instead of Jayalalithaa’s and has not been corrected despite reminders.
