Paytm’s First Games Hit with ₹5,712 Crore GST Bombshell!
Paytm’s gaming arm, First Games, has been slapped with a massive ₹5,712 crore GST demand by tax authorities for the period January 2018 to March 2023.
The authorities claim GST should be 28% on the total entry amount, not the 18% currently paid on platform fees by gaming companies.
This is part of a wider crackdown, with multiple gaming firms receiving similar notices.
Paytm plans to challenge the notice in court, arguing against the retrospective application of the new GST rules.
The company says the notice won’t affect its operations, and First Games contributes less than 1% to Paytm’s consolidated financials.
