Tata Sons challenges Rs 1,500 crore GST claim on $1.27 billion Docomo settlement

Tata Sons has challenged a Rs 1,500 crore tax claim by the GST department on the $1.27 billion settlement it made with NTT Docomo in 2017. The GST department claims that Tata Sons gave a loan to its subsidiary, Tata Teleservices, to settle the dispute with Docomo and is therefore liable to pay taxes on the loan amount.
