ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Ltd disclosed on Tuesday, April 9, 2024, that it has been served with a Goods and Services Tax (GST) demand order amounting to Rs 20.50 crore for the financial year 2018-19. The demand, issued under Section 73 of the GGST Act, 2017, originated from the office of the State Tax Officer in Gujarat.
