Analysis · IBN · Finance
A show cause notice received on September 30, 2026, demands ₹229.14 crore (approximately US$27 million) in GST, plus interest and penalty, on services provided to customers maintaining specified minimum balances. While the bank is already litigating similar past orders and show cause notices, this is the first time the cumulative amount has crossed the materiality threshold, forcing disclosure. The bank will contest the demand, but the notice adds a contingent liability and signals ongoing regulatory friction over how minimum-balance services are taxed under GST.
