Meanwhile, the Income-Tax Department has seized USD 104 million dividend due to Cairn Energy Plc from the remaining stake in the erstwhile subsidiary Cairn India (now called Vedanta Ltd). The department has already adjusted Rs 1,500 crore of tax refund that was due to Cairn Energy, against the principal amount. "The government already has holding shares about Rs 6,000-7,000 crore and something should be done to settle the issue. Those shares were of Cairn Plc," he had said. Vedanta Resources recently merged Cairn India with group company Vedanta Ltd.
