Le Travenues Technology Limited (ixigo) announced that its appeals against an Order-in-Original dated January 31, 2025, have been rejected by the Additional Commissioner, CGST (Appeals), Gurugram.

GST Appeal Rejected
Le Travenues Technology Limited, operating under the brand name ixigo, has announced the rejection of its appeals against an earlier order concerning Goods and Services Tax (GST). The Order-in-Appeal was passed by the Additional Commissioner, CGST (Appeals), Gurugram, on June 24, 2026, and received by the company on August 06, 2026.
Dispute Details
The core of the dispute lies in the classification of services provided by ixigo to overseas entities. The authorities have classified these services as ‘intermediary services’ rather than ‘export of services,’ a stance that ixigo disputes. The original order, dated January 31, 2025, had confirmed a demand for GST amounting to ₹89,80,778, along with applicable interest and a penalty of the same amount, for the period spanning from July 01, 2017, to March 31, 2023 (FYs 2017-18 to 2022-23).
Company’s Stance and Next Steps
ixigo maintains that it has a strong case on merits. The company plans to file a further appeal before the Hon’ble Goods and Services Tax Appellate Tribunal within the stipulated time. The company states that there has been no change in the quantum of the disputed demand from what was previously disclosed on February 05, 2025. While the company anticipates no material financial implications beyond legal and other expenses, it remains committed to contesting the matter.
