Taking action against the airline for its failure to timely file GST returns, the GST department has issued a show-cause notice aiming to cancel the company’s GST registration, according to the official.
As per the GST department, SpiceJet has repeatedly engaged in irregularities concerning the timely submission of GST returns. Consequently, a provisional assessment was initiated under Section 62 of the CGST and SGST Act, 2017. This led to a total tax demand of ₹124.65 crore being assessed for various periods.
