WeWork India Receives GST Order for ₹13.44 Crore Demand and Penalty
WeWork India received a GST order demanding ₹13.44 crore for alleged excess ITC utilization for April 2019-March 2023. Penalties of the same amount were also imposed. The company plans to appeal, expecting no material financial impact.
While the company states no material impact is expected and plans to appeal, the demand and penalty of ₹13.44 crore represent a significant financial obligation if the appeal is unsuccessful.
The company has received an order demanding a significant amount in tax and penalty, which is a negative development.
WeWork India Management Limited has received an Order-in-Original (OIO) dated March 27, 2026, from the Office of the Principal Commissioner, Central Goods and Services Tax, Gurugram. This order pertains to the period of April 2019 to March 2023 and was issued under Section 74(9) of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017.
The OIO alleges excess availment and utilization of Input Tax Credit (ITC) in GSTR-3B compared to available ITC in GSTR-2A/2B, along with other related matters. The order includes a demand and recovery of ITC amounting to ₹1,37,07,208 (IGST), ₹6,03,32,708 (CGST), and ₹6,03,32,708 (SGST), totaling approximately ₹13.44 crore. Additionally, a penalty of the same amounts has been imposed for the specified period.
WeWork India believes the order has been issued without adequately considering the merits of the case and intends to file an appeal before the Commissioner (Appeals), CGST Gurugram, within the prescribed timelines. The company does not envisage any material impact on its financials, operations, or other activities at this stage.
