MUMBAI: Zee Khana Khazana is launching its new ad campaign aiming to reinforce its positioning through its tagline ‘Ab Khana Sawal Nahi, Lajawab Hai!’

As it’s a niche channel with a focused target audience, the concentration is more on women specific radio time bands and integrations, digital advertising on women specific portals, concentration on social media and onground activations in a big way.”
The ad will also travel to Multiplexes and other networks in the second phase. Zee Khana Khazana is currently available at Rs 30 per month on Dish TV, Videocon D2h and on digital cable. It will soon be available on other DTH platforms, the company said.
On digital, the channel had done brand campaigns on the top ad networks and Google, YouTube.

Through this activity winners in the four cities will get a chance to come onto our show ‘Ab Har Koi Chef’ and cook with our super chef ‘Chef Jolly Singh’. We are also planning to concentrate a lot on BTL activations like contest and workshops in malls, special workshop for women in societies, tie ups with different events conducted by parallel brands etc in the future.”

Jubilant FoodWorks faces Rs 47.5 crore GST demand, plans appeal
Tax authorities flag alleged misclassification of restaurant services
MUMBAI: Jubilant FoodWorks Limited has landed in a tax tussle after receiving a GST demand of Rs 47.5 crore from the office of the additional commissioner of CGST and central excise in Thane, Maharashtra.
The order, issued under the provisions of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, relates to an alleged incorrect classification of certain services under the category of restaurant services. According to the tax authorities, this classification resulted in a short payment of goods and services tax for the period between the financial years 2019-20 and 2021-22.
The demand includes Rs 47.5 crore in GST along with an equal amount as penalty, in addition to applicable interest. The order was received by the company on March 13, 2026.
In a regulatory filing to the BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited, the company said it disagrees with the order and believes its arguments were not adequately considered.
The company is preparing to challenge the decision and plans to file an appeal. It added that once the redressal process is complete, the demand is likely to be dropped.
Despite the sizeable figure attached to the notice, the company said it does not expect any material impact on its financials, operations or other activities.
The disclosure was signed by Suman Hegde, EVP and chief financial officer, who confirmed that the company received the order at 19:06 IST on March 13 and has already initiated steps to contest it.
The development places the quick service restaurant major in the middle of a tax debate that could hinge on how certain restaurant-linked services are classified under GST rules. For now, the company appears ready to take the matter from the tax office to the appeals desk.
