Bombay HC quashes Rs 1,524 crore proposed GST demand on Tata Sons in Docomo arbitration payout case

The Bombay High Court quashed a Rs 1,524 crore GST demand against Tata Sons, ruling that payments made to NTT Docomo as an arbitration award do not constitute a taxable 'supply of service'. The court found the revenue department's attempt to levy GST on the settlement of the arbitral award to be unjustified, setting aside the show cause notice.
