A month after a tribunal at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague ordered India to return USD 1.2 billion to UK’s Cairn Energy Plc, the company on Wednesday said it is engaged with the Indian government on implementation of the ruling.
The three-member tribunal, which comprised a judge appointed by India, last month unanimously overturned a Rs 10,247 crore retrospective tax demand on the British oil and gas company and asked the government to return shares it sold, dividend it seized and tax refunds it stopped to enforce the tax.
In an update ahead of announcing its preliminary results for 2020, the company said it is taking all necessary steps to protect its rights to the award.
