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.

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.
