Star Heath’s response

The company informed the bourses that it would file its reply against the order within the prescribed timelines. 

Earlier this week, Star Health inked a "strategic corporate alliance" with Standard Chartered Bank to provide its insurance products to customers.

The collaboration is aimed at providing health insurance solutions across 100 branches of the private bank present in 42 cities across India.

Earlier this week, another insurance firm ICICI Lombard received a show-cause notice from the Directorate General of GST Intelligence demanding Rs 273 crore in taxes.

The demand was about GST on salvage and ineligible tax credit for motor insurance claims.

Despite the demand notice, shares of Star Health were trading 1.49 per cent higher at Rs 639 apiece on BSE at 10:55 AM.
