LIC News Today

Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), a state-owned insurance giant, announced on Thursday, August 29, that it received a demand order amounting to ₹605.59 crore from the Deputy Commissioner of State Tax, Mumbai, for the financial year 2019-20.

Details of the GST Demand Order

The GST demand order issued by the Maharashtra state tax authorities comprises three main components:

  • GST Amount: ₹294.43 crore

  • Interest: ₹281.71 crore

  • Penalty: ₹29.45 crore

The order primarily stems from issues involving the wrongful availment and short reversal of input tax credit (ITC), as well as interest levied on late payments.

According to LIC's stock exchange filing, this order is appealable before the Joint Commissioner of State Tax (Appeals), Mumbai, which provides an opportunity for LIC to contest the demand.

LIC Share Price Performance

LIC share price showed a decline on Thursday, closing at ₹1,071, down by 1.24%. However, the long-term performance of the stock remains robust, with a 12-month return of 64.50%.

LIC’s Next Steps

LIC is expected to appeal the GST demand order, leveraging the provision to present its case before the Joint Commissioner of State Tax (Appeals). This step could potentially lead to a revision or reduction of the demand amount, depending on the outcome of the appeal process.

Investors will be closely monitoring the outcome of the appeal and any further announcements related to the GST demand, as it could influence the future trajectory of the LIC share price.
