Muthoot Finance receives GST demand and penalty of ₹1.91 crore, plans appeal
The company has explicitly stated that the order will not have a material impact on its financial, operational, or other activities. The amount of ₹1.91 crore is also relatively low for a company of this scale.
While a tax demand and penalty of ₹1.91 crore have been imposed, the company considers the allegation untenable, is appealing the order, and states there will be no material impact on its financials or operations.
* The Office of the Assistant Commissioner, Central Goods and Service Tax, Division I Noida, Uttar Pradesh, issued an order dated September 12, 2025, against Muthoot Finance Limited. * The order includes a tax demand of ₹95,73,071 and a penalty of ₹95,73,071, amounting to a total of ₹1,91,46,142. * The demand is primarily due to ineligible Input Tax Credit (ITC) related to supplies with retrospectively cancelled registrations (₹95,70,326) and ineligible ITC from debit notes by suppliers who have not filed GSTR-3B (₹2,745). * Muthoot Finance Limited firmly believes the allegation is not tenable and is in the process of filing an appeal against the order. * The company has stated that the order will not have any material impact on its financial, operational, or other activities.
