Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
Vodafone Idea has received an order from the Principal Commissioner, Ahmedabad South, confirming a penalty of Rs. 8.78 crore along with applicable interest and demand under Section 73(1) of the Finance Act, 1994. The order relates to alleged non-payment of Service Tax on SMS Termination charges for the period April 2011 to September 2012. The order was received on 5 January 2026. The company has stated that it does not agree with the order and intends to take appropriate legal action to challenge or reverse it.
The financial impact is limited to Rs. 8.78 crore plus interest, which is relatively small for a company of Vodafone Idea's size. The company's decision to contest the order means the final outflow is uncertain, and the market reaction is likely to be muted unless the dispute escalates.
