RateGain wins Service Tax appeal; CESTAT sets aside ₹5.97 crore demand
RateGain Travel Technologies Limited won a significant service tax litigation. CESTAT set aside a demand of ₹5.97 crore along with interest and penalty, resolving a matter disclosed during its IPO.
The resolution of a litigation involving a demand of nearly ₹6 crore is financially significant as it removes a contingent liability, thus having a medium positive impact on the company's financial position.
The Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT) ruled in favor of RateGain, setting aside a demand of ₹5.97 crore. This positive outcome resolves a long-standing litigation.
RateGain Travel Technologies Limited announced that the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT) issued an order dated October 09, 2025, in the company's favor. This order relates to a pending litigation disclosed during the company's Initial Public Offering (IPO) regarding an appeal filed by RateGain against a demand order from the Commissioner of Service Tax. The original demand was for ₹5,97,36,178/- along with interest and penalty, alleging non-payment of service tax under the reverse charge mechanism on certain foreign payments. CESTAT has allowed the appeal, thereby setting aside the Commissioner of Service Tax's order and dropping the total demand of ₹5,97,36,178/-.
