Bombay HC grants interim relief to insurers, stays ₹10,000-crore GST claims

Newspoint
The Bombay High Court on Friday granted an ad-interim stay on GST demands aggregating more than ₹10,000 crore raised against 13 insurance companies in connection with co-insurance premiums and ceding commission.

The court noted that circulars issued by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC), pursuant to a decision of the GST Council, exclude such transactions from the levy of GST. In view of this, the high court stayed the recovery of the disputed tax demands.
