The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) has dismissed insolvency proceedings against Sporta Technologies, the parent company of fantasy sports platform Dream11, for an alleged rent default of over INR 7.6 Cr. The Appellate Tribunal noted that the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) wrongly admitted the insolvency plea, overlooking the exemption period under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. The NCLAT's decision comes after Reward Solutions filed the insolvency plea in February 2024, claiming that Sporta Technologies failed to comply with a lease agreement. Dream11 recently faced challenges due to the 28% GST imposed on the online gaming sector and a substantial GST notice from the tax authorities. However, the company saw growth in its user base, net profit, and operating revenue in the financial year 2022-2023.

Infosys has announced that the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) has withdrawn a tax demand of INR 3,898 crore for the financial year ending March 2018. This decision provides partial relief to the Indian software company, as the ongoing tax battle remains unresolved. Another tax demand of INR 28,505 crore from the remaining five years is still pending. The withdrawal suggests a potential early resolution of the matter, as the government is said to be considering Infosys' plea that GST does not apply to services provided by its overseas branches.
