At 9:47 am, Zomato shares recovered some of their intraday losses to trade 1.9 per cent weaker for the day at Rs 124.7 apiece on the bourse.  

In a regulatory filing post-market hours on Wednesday, Zomato said it had received the notice that required it to show why an alleged tax liability of Rs 401.7 crore along with interest and penalty, for the period from October 29, 2019, to March 31, 2022, should not be demanded from the company. 

The amount alleged in the notice is based on the amounts collected as delivery charges from the customers on behalf of the delivery partners during the referred period, according to the filing.
