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.

Gameskraft achieves Rs 3,500 Cr income in FY24 with Rs 947 Cr PAT Gameskraft has consistently reported net profits of around Rs 1,000 crore over the past three fiscal years. Despite encountering various legal challenges, the Bengaluru-based company achieved a 30% year-on-year growth in the fiscal year ending March 2024. Gameskraft’s revenue from operations grew to Rs 3,475 crore in FY24 from Rs 2,673 crore in FY23, its consolidated annual financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies show. Gameskraft operates popular gaming apps such as Rummy Culture, Playship, Pocket 52, RummyPrime, Ludo Culture, and Rummy Time. Its revenue (gross gaming revenue) comes from a platform fee or commission charged as a percentage of the buy-in fees users invest in games. This remained its sole revenue source during FY24. The company also made Rs 46 crore from interest on fixed deposits and gain on sale of current investments which tallied its overall revenue to Rs 3,521 crore in FY24 from Rs 2,732 crore in FY23. Similar to other gaming companies, Gameskraft has over a dozen brand ambassadors, including Harbhajan Singh, Mahesh Bhupathi, and Abhinav Bindra, and has run several campaigns on social media and TV. This pushed its advertising costs up by 113% to Rs 1,315 crore in FY24 from Rs 616 crore in FY23. Gameskraft employee benefits grew 23.5% to Rs 463 crore in FY24. This includes Rs 12 crore as ESOP cost which is settled in cash. Its legal, communication, domain, web hosting, and other overheads took the overall cost up by 71.7% to Rs 2232 crore in FY24 from Rs 1300 crore in FY23. The more than two-fold increase in advertising costs outpaced Gameskraft's revenue growth, causing its profits to drop by 10.8% to Rs 947 crore in FY24 from Rs 1,062 crore in FY23. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin stood at 69.4% and 37.46% respectively with an expense-to-earning ratio of Rs 0.64. At the end of FY24, Gameskraft's total current assets were recorded at Rs 1,680 crore with the cash and bank balance of Rs 306 crore. In the real-money gaming sector, MPL reported a 22.2% increase in revenue from operations to Rs 1,068 crore in FY24, while also achieving positive cash flow during the year. Gameberry saw a 46.9% growth in revenue to Rs 461.7 crore, with a 150% surge in profit to Rs 92.8 crore in the same period. Meanwhile, major competitors such as Dream11 and A23 have yet to release their financial results for FY24.
