Bombay HC sets aside Rs 170 Cr GST demand against Go Digit, orders fresh adjudication The Bombay High Court has provided major relief to Go Digit General Insurance by setting aside a Rs 170.29 crore GST demand raised by the Chennai South Commissionerate of GST & Central Excise. The order, dated July 4, includes Rs 154.8 crore in alleged tax dues and Rs 15.48 crore in penalties for the period from July 2017 to March 2022. According to Go Digit’s filing accessed from the National Stock Exchange (NSE), the High Court noted that the GST Council had already discussed this industry-wide issue and issued related circulars. Now, the court has asked the tax department to review the case again, keeping those guidelines in mind, and complete the process within three months. This update comes just a few months after Go Digit listed on the stock market. The tax demand was earlier mentioned in its Red Herring Prospectus under “Material Tax Proceedings.” The company said it is reviewing legal options and is waiting for the official court order to be delivered. Importantly, the company clarified that the case is part of a broader issue impacting the insurance industry at large and that no financial implications arise at this stage due to the High Court's intervention. The insurance company recorded a 2.2X increase in profits to Rs 116 crore during the last quarter of the previous fiscal year (Q4FY25). Meanwhile, for the full fiscal year (FY25), its profits surged 133% to Rs 425 crore. The company is currently traded at Rs 333.9 as of 11.25 AM with a total market capitalization of Rs 30,828 crore or $3.6 billion.

Paytm gets relief as Supreme Court stays Rs 5,712 Cr GST notice. In its order, the apex court directed, “Further proceedings of all the impugned show cause notices shall remain stayed till the final disposal of the main matter along with all the matters which are tagged.” The Supreme Court of India has stayed the proceedings of a Rs 5,712 crore GST Show Cause Notice (SCN) issued to First Games Technology Private Limited, a subsidiary of One 97 Communications Ltd (Paytm). Paytm shared the update in a regulatory filing on May 24, after the Supreme Court issued an interim order on May 23. The order came in response to a petition by First Games, which challenged a GST notice from the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) for the period from January 2018 to March 2023. In its order, the apex court directed, “Further proceedings of all the impugned show cause notices shall remain stayed till the final disposal of the main matter along with all the matters which are tagged.” The stay gives Paytm’s gaming arm temporary legal relief and more time to defend its case without facing immediate penalties. Earlier, Paytm said the notice is part of an ongoing issue in the online gaming industry. The disagreement is about GST being charged at 28% on the full entry amount, while gaming companies believe it should be 18% only on their actual earnings from platform fees. The SCN is part of a broader industry-wide probe by the GST department, which has issued similar notices to several gaming companies. The matter is being closely monitored by stakeholders across the online gaming sector. Paytm's operating revenue fell by 16% year-on-year to Rs 1,911 crore in the fourth quarter of FY25, down from 2,267 crore in the same quarter of FY24. However, the Noida-based company narrowed its losses to 23 crore in Q4 FY25, a 96% reduction from 536 crore in Q4 FY24.
