Yatra Online Limited has received major relief as the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT), Chandigarh, has ruled in the company and its subsidiary TSI Yatra’s favour. In its regulatory disclosure dated April 1, 2026, the company stated that the tribunal deleted large tax demands and penalties imposed earlier by tax authorities.
Background of the Case

  • Abatement Claims: The tribunal deleted the denial of abatement benefits.
  • Other Issues: The tribunal also set aside other issues like demand towards the short payment of service tax, the reverse charge mechanism (RCM) on foreign expenditure, and CENVAT credit on gateway charges.
