InterGlobe Aviation to contest CGST tax order seen as legally unsound

InterGlobe Aviation Ltd ( (IN:INDIGO) ) has issued an announcement.

InterGlobe Aviation has disclosed that it received an order from the Additional Commissioner, CGST Gurugram, raising a goods and services tax demand with interest and penalty for FY 2019–20 to FY 2024–25 on services the airline says were neither received nor paid for. The order includes a penalty of about INR 42.9 crore, but the company maintains, based on external tax advice, that the order is not in accordance with law and plans to challenge it through appropriate legal remedies.

The airline has told exchanges that it does not expect any significant impact on its financials, operations, or other activities from this tax dispute. The case underscores ongoing scrutiny of indirect tax compliance in India’s aviation industry, but IndiGo’s stance suggests it views the matter as a legal contingency rather than a threat to its core business or liquidity.
