Food and grocery delivery giant Zomato has received relief from tax authorities as a demand for Rs 5.9 crore in unpaid Goods and Services Tax (GST) has been dropped.

In a regulatory filing, Zomato stated that it had received a favorable order from the Commissioner (Appeals) in Gurugram, overturning an earlier demand order passed by the Additional Commissioner, Central Goods and Services Tax, Gurugram. The tax demand was initially raised for the period from July 2017 to March 2021.
