The Bombay High Court has set aside a GST demand of ₹154.80 crores and a penalty of ₹15.48 crores (total ₹170.29 crores) that was raised against Go Digit General Insurance by the Commissioner of GST & Central Excise, Chennai South Commissionerate. The court noted that the GST Council has already examined this issue and issued relevant circulars, and directed the adjudicating authority to re-decide the matter afresh within three months in light of the GST Council's guidance. The case relates to the period from July 2017 to March 2022 and the company says it is an industry-wide issue. The company has stated there is no immediate financial implication, though it is still evaluating legal advice on the order.
This is a favourable development for Go Digit shareholders as the ₹170.29 crore demand — a significant amount — has been quashed, removing a major near-term overhang. However, the matter is not fully closed; the case has been remanded for fresh adjudication, so investors should watch for the outcome within the next three months.
