Ecom Express, a subsidiary of Delhivery Limited, received a GST demand order from the Assistant Commissioner (CGST) Patna for ₹2.63 crore, covering FY19–FY23. The order cites disallowed input tax credit and short payment issues. The company plans to appeal, stating no major financial or operational impact.

Delhivery Limited announced that its subsidiary, Ecom Express Limited, has received a demand order under Section 74 of the CGST/Bihar GST Act, 2017, and Section 20 of the IGST Act, 2017. The order, dated October 21, 2025, was issued by the Assistant Commissioner (CGST), Patna, concerning tax discrepancies spanning financial years 2018–19 to 2022–23.

The order imposes a total liability of over ₹2.63 crore, combining tax, interest, and penalty obligations. The company was intimated about this decision on October 22, 2025, and has confirmed that an appeal will be filed with the appellate authority. Delhivery emphasized that the development does not materially affect its financial standing or operations.

Key highlights

The Assistant Commissioner (CGST), Patna, passed the order under Section 74 of the CGST/Bihar GST Act, 2017, read with Section 20 of the IGST Act.
The period under dispute covers FY2018–19 to FY2022–23.
The order cites disallowance of input tax credit and short payment of taxes as grounds for the demand.
Total tax demand: ₹1,31,49,001; interest: ₹35,094; and penalty: ₹1,31,49,001, totaling approximately ₹2.63 crore.
Ecom Express intends to contest the order before the relevant appellate authority.
The company maintains that this issue will not have a material impact on its financials or operations.

Delhivery Limited, as the parent entity, clarified that Ecom Express’s financial exposure in this matter is limited and that its appeal process will follow due legal procedures. Such tax-related disputes are not uncommon in the logistics sector, given the complex treatment of GST input credit across states and inter-state service transactions.

While Ecom Express remains operationally unaffected, the outcome of the appellate proceedings will be closely watched by investors and sector analysts as it reflects the continuing GST compliance challenges faced by fast-expanding logistics companies in India.
