Indian tax authorities are investigating motorcycle maker Hero MotoCorp’s relationship with a vendor suspected of reporting about Rs 90 crore ($11 million) in false expenditure, two sources familiar with the matter said.

Based on the alleged fake spending by vendor Salt Experiences, Hero MotoCorp received a tax credit, leading to suspected tax evasion of about Rs 16 crore, one of the two sources said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

A spokesperson for Hero MotoCorp said “There is no ongoing investigation against” the company on the matter, but did not elaborate further. Salt could not be reached for immediate comment. — Reuters

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
