# Maruti seeks amnesty for legacy indirect tax disputes 2026-08-07T10:01:31+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Maruti Suzuki India has urged the central government to offer an amnesty scheme or an “as-is” settlement for old indirect tax disputes in the automotive industry. CFO Arnab Roy said clearing historical litigation would give businesses certainty and release capital for growth. An amnesty could waive interest and penalties when companies pay principal tax dues, while an “as-is” settlement would close past filings without retrospective demands. Maruti and its subsidiary, Suzuki Motor Gujarat, face indirect tax demands of Rs 139.3 crore in Haryana and Rs 173.9 crore in Gujarat, besides other Customs and state GST cases. Roy also sought seamless transfer of central input tax credit across state registrations, clearer tax guidance and wider advance pricing agreements covering Customs and GST matters. ## Coverage - rediff.com Tags: automobiles, GST, indirect taxes, Maruti Suzuki, tax disputes Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/maruti-seeks-amnesty-for-legacy-indirect-tax-disputes/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
