Vodafone has sought an extension until January 29 to reply to a tax claim notice issued last month by the Indian tax department, minister of State for finance SS Palanimanickam said on Friday in a written reply to question in parliament.
On October 30, India's tax department issued the notice to Vodafone over its $11.2 billion purchase of Hutchison Telecom's Indian operations in 2007, and had said the British firm needed to comply by November 16.
