What the department alleges

The notice reportedly alleges that tax was unpaid or short paid and/or input tax credit was wrongly availed or utilised during FY23. These are allegations set out in a show-cause notice; the sources available do not establish the detailed factual basis or resolve whether the allegations are correct.

MCX’s reported response

MCX reportedly said it was preparing its response, believed it had a strong factual case, and considered the matter to have no material impact on its financial position, operations or other activities. Those statements describe the company’s position, not an independent finding about the case or its outcome. [CNBC TV18]

MCX’s investor-relations announcement index lists “Show Cause Notice received from GST Department” dated 30 September 2026. The listing confirms the announcement’s existence and date, but the linked notice text was not available in the material reviewed.
