NIACL Receives GST Order Demanding ₹2379.13 Crore
While NIACL believes it has a strong defense, the large amount of the demand (₹2379.13 crore) could potentially impact the company's financials if the decision goes against them.
The announcement discusses a significant tax demand, which is generally viewed negatively.
* NIACL has received an order from the Additional Commissioner CGST & Central Excise Palghar Commissionerate regarding non-payment of GST on co-insurance premiums and reinsurance commissions. * The order demands ₹2379.13 crore along with a penalty under relevant sections of the CGST, SGST, and IGST Acts. * The demand pertains to GST on premium received as a follower in co-insurance business and on commission earned on reinsurance premium ceded. * NIACL believes it has a strong case to defend, citing the 53rd GST Council meeting's conclusion that co-insurance premium and reinsurance commission transactions are considered "No Supply" under Schedule III of the CGST Act, 2017. * CBIC has also regularized demand of GST on the Coinsurance Premium and Reinsurance commission transactions for the period 1st July 2017 to 31st October 2024 on "As is where is" basis. * The company will initiate appropriate action and file a response highlighting its contentions with the appropriate authority.
