The confirmed GST demand of over ₹ 17,288 crore and a penalty of ₹ 172 crore represents a very large potential financial liability for the company, despite the stated intention to appeal and the current assessment of 'No impact at this stage'.
The company has received an order from the tax authorities confirming a substantial GST demand of ₹ 17,288.61 crore and a penalty of ₹ 172.89 crore, which is an adverse development despite the company's intention to appeal.
* ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Limited received an order on September 29, 2025, from the Additional Commissioner, CGST & Central Excise Palghar Commissionerate. * The order confirms a GST demand of ₹ 17,288,610,803 (₹ 17,288.61 crore), a penalty of ₹ 1,728,861,079 (₹ 172.89 crore), and interest under Section 50 of the CGST Act, 2017, for the period July 2017 to March 2022. * This follows a previous intimation on July 3, 2025, where the Hon'ble Bombay High Court had set aside an earlier order confirming a similar GST demand and directed the adjudicating authority to re-hear the matter in light of decisions by the GST Council. * The issues pertain to industry-wide matters concerning the taxability of co-insurance premium received as a follower and re-insurance commission, which were considered by the GST Council in its 53rd meeting on June 22, 2024. * The Company stated it would pursue an appeal or evaluate other appropriate actions, including filing a writ petition, against the new order.
