TeamLease Services Limited has received an update regarding a Writ Petition filed on June 12, 2026, before the Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka. The company was informed on August 29, 2026, that the hearing for this petition has been scheduled for October 27, 2026.
This Writ Petition was filed in response to an Order-in-Appeal dated January 30, 2026, received from the Commissioner of CGST & Central Excise (Appeals-III), Mumbai. The company had previously filed SEBI intimations on May 06, 2026, and June 12, 2026, concerning this matter.
The original Order-in-Appeal, dated January 30, 2026, was issued following proceedings initiated by the Directorate General of GST Intelligence. The authorities alleged the issuance of invoices without underlying supply of services for manpower services rendered between July 2017 and July 2022, imposing a penalty of approximately ₹32.29 crore. The company believes the order has significant legal infirmities and has stated that there is no tax demand raised and no material impact on operations at this stage. The matter was disclosed as a contingent liability in the standalone financial statements for FY25.
TeamLease Services Limited has stated its commitment to pursuing appropriate legal recourse and ensuring compliance with applicable laws. Further material developments will be communicated to the stock exchanges.
