Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) on Wednesday said the tax authorities have slapped a demand notice of about Rs 663.45 crore on it for short payment of Goods and Services Tax (GST).
The corporation received a communication/ demand order for interest and penalty from the Office of the Commissioner of CGST & Central Excise, Chennai North Commissionerate, on January 1, LIC said in a regulatory filing.
The demand pertains to wrong availment of Input Tax Credit (ITC) and non-payment of tax on turnover wrongly declared as non-GST supply in GSTR-1 for 2017-18, and 2018-19, it said.
The corporation will file an appeal before the Commissioner (Appeals), Chennai against the said order, it said.
There is no material impact on financials, operations or other activities of the corporation, it added.
