IndiGo, one of India's leading airlines, announced on Wednesday that it plans to challenge two penalty orders totalling Rs 3,50,299, which have been imposed regarding its ITC claims under the GST regime.
Odisha Penalty Details
In Odisha, a penalty of Rs 1,77,046 has been levied on Indigo concerning its GST claims for the fiscal year 2017-18. The appellate authority has rejected the airline's plea, upholding the demand related to the disallowed input tax credit. According to InterGlobe Aviation, the parent company of Indigo, they are determined to contest this decision and plan to take the matter to an appellate tribunal.
Kerala Penalty Case
In Kerala, IndiGo faces another penalty of Rs 1,73,253, where the input tax credit claimed by the company was rejected by the tax officer. This order, which demands payment from the airline, has also been appealed by Indigo to the concerned appellate authority. The airline is actively pursuing the case, seeking to overturn the ruling.
IndiGo's actions reflect its commitment to challenging what it views as unwarranted penalties related to its input tax credit claims. The airline remains firm in its stance to ensure that its claims are validated through the appropriate legal channels.
