- The Supreme Court dismissed the Centre’s appeal to revive a ₹363 crore GST demand against Vodafone Idea.
- The dispute stemmed from a 2017 transfer of Vodafone Mobile Services’ telecom tower business to ATC Telecom Infrastructure.
- After Vodafone Mobile Services merged into Vodafone India and Idea Cellular, GST authorities still issued a notice in 2024 and an adjudication order in 2025.
- Vodafone Idea argued the company no longer existed, and the Bombay High Court had already quashed the proceedings for lack of jurisdiction.
- The Supreme Court upheld that ruling, questioning how tax proceedings could be initiated against a non-existent entity.
