The Income Tax appealed these entities to pay their tax arrears "immediately."
"This is the second list that the tax department has put in public domain.The department, in the public notice, has provided the PAN number and the last known address of these defaulters for the public to know," the official added.
As per a statement given by government in Parliament, the total Corporate Tax demand pending for collection up to the month of December, 2014 was Rs 3,11,080 crore (Rs 3,110.80 billion) (PTI)
