In June 2012, Mahindra Satyam has tied up with Oxygen Finance, which is a UK based firm to market its cloud-based payment system.[16]
Merger
Mahindra Satyam's proposed merger with Tech Mahindra may be delayed all because of legal issues, and ambiguity over jurisdiction between investigating agencies and the government.[17] The merger has been delayed due to two tax cases pending with the Income Tax claiming over 2700 crore for both.[18] Tech Mahindra announced its merger with Mahindra Satyam on March 21, 2012,after the board of two companies gave the approval.[19] The two firms have received the go-ahead for merger from the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange.[20] Competition Commission of India(CCI)approved the proposed merger of Mahindra Satyam and other companies with Tech Mahindra.[21] Mahindra Satyam will hold its annual general meeting (AGM) on June 8,2012 to consider the proposal to merge the company with Tech Mahindra. It is mandatory for the firm to get the AGM nod to go ahead with the merger.[22] The shareholders of both Tech Mahindra and Mahindra Satyam have unanimously approved the scheme of amalgamation and merger of Satyam Computer Services Ltd, Venturbay Consultants, C&S System Technologies, CanvasM Technologies and Mahindra Logisoft Business Solutions with Tech Mahindra.[23][24]
Row with I-T Department
The I-T Department had issued notices to the company seeking 617 crore tax for the assessment years from 2003-04 to 2008-09, when the company was run by the founder B Ramalinga Raju and his team. The Central Board of Direct Taxes has attached the properties of Mahindra Satyam on February 3, 2012,stating the attachment of properties was according to Section 281 B of the Income Tax Act. Section 281 B refers to recovery of tax and allows the tax department to issue provisional orders to the assessee to safeguard revenues accrued to it.The Income Tax department had slapped notice on the company after disallowing exemptions claimed by the software firm. The company has received notices of demand for 1,037 crore and 1,075 crore for assessment years 2002-03 and 2007–08, respectively. [25] However, the Andhra Pradesh High Court granted a breather to Mahindra Satyam, by staying the Income Tax Department's provisional order to attach properties of the IT firm.[26]

[31]
Recent news and developments

[32][33][34] Mahindra Satyam acquired Delhi based BPO firm vCustomer's International operations for US $27 million.

Controversies
Maytas acquisition
In 2008, Satyam attempted to acquire Maytas Infrastructure and Maytas Properties, founded by family relations of company founder Ramalinga Raju (Maytas is "Satyam" reversed) for $1.6 billion, despite concerns raised by independent board directors.[37] Both companies are owned by Raju's sons. This eventually led to a review of the deal by the government,[38] a veiled criticism by the vice president of India[39] and Satyam's clients re-evaluating their relationship with the company.[40] Satyam's investors lost about 3,400 crore in the related panic selling. The USD $1.6 billion ( 8,000 crore) acquisition was met with skepticism as Satyam's shares fell 55% on the New York Stock Exchange.[41] Three members of the board of directors resigned on 29 December 2008.[42]
