The Bombay High Court has set aside an earlier GST adjudication order against ICICI Lombard that had confirmed a demand of ₹1,728.86 crore plus a penalty of ₹172.89 crore for the period July 2017 to March 2022. The company had challenged the order, which was issued by the Joint Commissioner, CGST & CX Thane Commissionerate in December 2023, by filing a writ petition. The Court noted that the GST Council had already considered the issue and issued related Circulars, and directed the adjudicating authority to re-hear the matter in light of those. The original order was linked to industry-wide issues. The company has stated there is no financial impact at this stage, as the matter is being remanded for fresh consideration.
Positive for shareholders — a potential ~₹1,902 crore (demand + penalty) liability has been quashed, though the matter is not fully closed as it has been sent back for re-hearing. Watch for the outcome of the fresh proceedings, which could revive the demand.
