Matrimony.com Faces ₹20.75 Crore GST Penalty Orders
Matrimony.com Limited received GST penalty orders totaling ₹10.24 crore and tax/interest demands of ₹10.23 crore and ₹9.13 crore respectively. Penalties were levied by GST departments in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Maharashtra, and Karnataka. The company believes the demands lack legal justification and plans to appeal, expecting no material financial impact.
While the company states there will be no material impact, the substantial penalty and tax demand amount of over ₹29 crore warrants a medium impact assessment, pending the outcome of the appeal.
The company has received significant penalty and tax demands from GST authorities, which is a negative development.
Matrimony.com Limited has announced that it has received various orders from the GST departments of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Maharashtra, and Karnataka. These orders levy a total penalty of ₹10,23,91,715 (Ten Crore twenty-three lakh ninety-one thousand seven hundred fifteen only), along with a demand for tax payment of ₹10,23,30,261 (Ten crore twenty-three lakh thirty thousand two hundred sixty-one only) and interest totaling ₹9,13,17,069 (Nine Crore Thirteen Lakhs Seventeen Thousand and Sixty Nine Only) in Tamil Nadu and ₹51,52,331 (Fifty One Lakh Fifty Two Thousand Three hundred and Thirty one Only) in Kerala.
The penalties were imposed under Section 74 of the Central Goods & Services Tax Act, 2017, for alleged violations including blocked Input Tax Credit (ITC) under Section 17(5) of the CGST Act, 2017, excess distribution of common input services under ISD, and ineligible ITC under ISD. Specific penalty amounts include ₹8,52,92,825 in Tamil Nadu, ₹55,62,436 in Karnataka, ₹41,79,583 in Kerala, and ₹73,56,871 in Maharashtra. The orders were received between February 18, 2026, and March 30, 2026.
The company stated that the demand orders pertain to periods ranging from April 2019 to March 2020 or March 2023. Matrimony.com believes it has a strong case on merits and, based on expert opinion, considers the demand to be without legal justification. The company is pursuing appropriate legal recourse, including filing an appeal, and expects no material impact on its financials, operations, or other activities.
