MUMBAI: The Indian Air Force has made a representation before the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) to reconsider more than Rs 100 crore of integrated goods and services tax (IGST) levied on various imported items that it has shown as “parts of aircraft” in its books.

The IAF plans to take up the matter at the ministerial level and that the money is needed to buy other critical equipment, this person said.

The IAF didn’t respond to an email seeking comment.
The DRI is of the view that IAF is not being singled out and that other government agencies are also required to pay IGST on imports. An official said the IAF could pay the tax and then claim it back from the government. “The IAF has not been singled out, the DRI found duty evasion of over `300 crore by various private airline and aerospace firms.
Most of these airlines have paid up IGST,” added the official. “The duty paid he ..
