Supreme Court stays Rs 5,712-crore GST notice against Paytm’s First Games

In a major relief to Paytm-owned First Games, the Supreme Court has stayed proceedings related to a Rs 5,712-crore Goods and Services Tax (GST) notice issued by the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI), New Delhi.

The development was disclosed in a regulatory filing by One97 Communications, which owns the Paytm brand and its gaming subsidiary. The notice had been issued in April 2025, prompting First Games to file a writ petition before the apex court.
