The insurance industry in India is facing allegations of tax evasion, with companies accused of evading GST amounting to ₹5,500 crore. Tax authorities have sent notices claiming dues of up to ₹30,000 crore. The allegations stem from excess commissions paid to corporate agents, such as banks and NBFCs, to push sales. These excess commissions are being recouped as input credit by claiming that services have been provided, when in fact they have not.
