Revenue Department attaches Jet Airways' IATA a/cs for non-payment of tax

NEW DELHI: The Revenue Department today attached Jet Airways' accounts, maintained by global airlines' body IATA, for non-payment of service tax dues to the tune of Rs 69 crore.

"We have frozen the IATA accounts of Jet Airways for delay in payment of service tax dues worth Rs 69 crore for months of January and February," a Finance Ministry source said.

The Revenue Department had sent notice on last Friday to Jet Airways cautioning the airline that its accounts would be frozen if it fails to to clear the service tax.

The service tax payment was due since March 6. Jet had said it would clear the dues by Monday.

A Jet spokesperson said "the Service Tax Department has been in touch with IATA with regards to having their proceeds remitted when the collections are remitted to Jet Airways".

The spokesperson said "no bank account of the airline have been frozen or attached."

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) maintain accounts to enable airlines transact business with other airlines, travel and cargo agents and other vendors, both in the domestic and international markets.

The primary IATA platforms, which carry out these activities are its Clearing House, Billing and Settlement Plan (BSP) and Cargo Accounts Settlement System (CASS).

While the IATA Clearing House deals with airlines making payments for services to other carriers or aviation-related companies, the BSP and the CASS programmes facilitate the sale of tickets and booking of cargo through travel and freight agents.

Statement From Kingfisher Airlines - Mumbai, March 14, 2012


  1. Despite the shortage of crew, Kingfisher Airlines operated 101 flights on March 13th and will operate 101 flights on March 14th.
  2. Our prime mission is to maintain schedule integrity by predicting in advance what we can with the sole objective of minimising, if not eliminating guest inconvenience.
  3. We try hard 24X7 to inform guests in advance of cancelled or combined flights and to give them the option of travelling on other airlines or to take a full refund.
  4. There will, inevitably, be a small number of guests who are inconvenienced partially because we could not access them personally but only via their agents.
  5. Kingfisher apologises to all those who were affected.
  6. Whilst many of our pilots and engineers have expressed their disappointment, we not only sincerely apologise to them but wish to advise that our Chairman will meet the pilot fraternity on Thursday March 15 in Delhi.
  7. There is a lot of sensational speculation and assumption about us.
  8. We request one and all to appreciate the serious handicaps we face not only because of our frozen accounts but because of the operating environment. We are working hard to resolve the issues that confront us given the current environment.
  9. We would like to confirm that we are curtailing our wide body overseas operations that are bleeding heavily. To this end we have already returned one Airbus A 330-200 to the lessor in the UK. Positive and immediate action is being taken on all fronts to cut costs.
  10. We are trying to protect the interests of our valuable employees. We share their pain caused by unpaid salaries and we are also trying to protect their jobs apart from paying salaries.
  11. Whatever the schedule we operate, we would like to assure our valued customers that your flights will depart as shown and on time.
  12. The suspension of our ICH and BSP accounts with IATA resulted from the freeze of our IATA accounts by the tax authorities.
  13. We have, obviously suffered as guests are not able to book seamlessly through IATA travel agents as before. This serious handicap has been partially mitigated by encouraging our travel partners to establish booking arrangements on their individual platforms. Nevertheless, this greatly influences our ability to operate certain flights and it is, therefore, incorrect to assume that pilots are solely responsible.
  14. We continue to work with the tax authorities to arrive at a solution to de-freeze our accounts as early as possible.
  15. We are also working with our Bankers to realise the urgent interim working capital as approved in the Bankers Consortium meeting held on February 17th. This is not dependant on State Bank of India as widely reported.
  16. We fully understand that State Bank of India can only consider additional facilities once our account with them is standard and this has been debated and minuted at the last Consortium meeting.
  17. The Government's final verdict on removing the restriction on investment by a foreign airline within the existing FDI limit of 49% is awaited. We can confirm that there is interest from prospectives on this basis.
  18. Finally, we wish to assure all guests, employees and all stakeholders that we are doing our very best.
