What has happened
The company has received an Order-in-Appeal from the Office of the Commissioner (Appeals), Central Goods and Services Tax, Gurugram. The order, No. 283/CGST/APPL/GGM/VM/2026-27 dated October 30, 2026, was passed under Section 107(11) of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 and corresponding provisions of the Haryana Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017.
The Commissioner (Appeals) rejected the appeal shared by the company against the Rectification Order dated June 11, 2025, as infructuous. The authority observed that an earlier order at the first appellate stage had already upheld the original demand order, and therefore the appeal was rejected without entering into the merits of the underlying dispute.
The amounts involved
- Total amount involved: ~INR 3.38 crore
- Tax component: ~INR 3.05 crore
- Penalty: ~INR 32.34 lakh
- Applicable interest is in addition to the above
- Pre-deposit made by the company while update this appeal: ~INR 30.54 lakh
What the dispute is about
The underlying proceedings pertain to alleged excess availment of Input Tax Credit and alleged non-payment of GST on unreconciled turnover for the financial year 2017-18. Following rectification carried out in the demand order, the tax demand was determined at ~INR 3.05 crore, with a penalty of ~INR 32.34 lakh and applicable interest.
What the company says
The company states that there is no material impact on its financials, operations or other routine business activities, and that the impact will be limited to the extent of the liability as per the Order. It has also said it is evaluating the order and the appropriate legal remedy.
Points a retail investor may note
The order confirms a liability already framed in the earlier demand, and the company describes its financial impact as limited to that liability. The company has indicated it is considering further legal options. The appeal was disposed of on the ground that it was infructuous rather than on a fresh examination of the tax dispute itself.
