What happened

The Company informed the exchanges that it has received a Show Cause Notice in Form GST DRC-01A, issued by the Office of Deputy Commissioner, State Tax, Circle-Vaishali Nagar, Jaipur-IV, under provisions of the RGST Act 2017 read with the CGST Act 2017 and the IGST Act 2017. The notice is dated 24th September 2026 and was received on the same day.

The allegation

• Period involved: FY 2022-23
• Alleged contravention: excess ITC claimed in GSTR-3B which is not confirmed in GSTR-2A/GSTR-2B

In simple terms, the tax department is questioning input tax credit the Company claimed in its monthly GST return, because the corresponding amounts do not appear in the auto-populated statements generated from suppliers' updates.

Amounts demanded

• Tax demand raised: Rs. 83,61,982.91
• Interest: Rs. 62,71,486.00
• Penalty raised: Rs. 8,36,196.00

Company's position

The Company states that it does not foresee any material impact on its financial, operational or other activities. It also says it will file detailed objections/reply against the show cause notice before the State Tax Officer and that it has a strong case on merits.

How to read this

A DRC-01A is an intimation stage notice that precedes a formal demand order; the amounts stated are what the authority has proposed, not a final liability. The outcome will depend on the Company's reply and the authority's subsequent action.
