Zee Media Corporation has received a Demand cum Show Cause Notice from the Office of the Principal Commissioner, Central GST, Noida, dated September 23, 2025. The notice alleges that the company availed inadmissible Input Tax Credit (ITC) for Financial Year 2019-20. The tax authority has demanded Rs. 1,11,36,600 (approximately Rs. 1.11 crore) along with an equivalent amount as penalty and applicable interest under Section 74 of the CGST Act, 2017. The company has 30 days to show cause as to why this demand should not be raised. Zee Media is evaluating legal remedies and plans to file an appeal against the notice.
This is a tax demand of around Rs. 1.11 crore plus equal penalty and interest, which is a relatively modest amount for a listed media company. No immediate financial impact as the company intends to appeal, but a final adverse ruling could dent earnings and create minor negative sentiment among retail investors.
