Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals received a GST appeal order confirming a demand of ₹3.33 crore for FY 2019-20. The company plans to appeal the order, citing no material impact on its financials or operations.
A demand of over ₹3.33 crore, even if appealed, represents a significant contingent liability. While the company claims no material impact, the ongoing litigation and potential financial exposure warrant a medium impact assessment.
The company is facing a GST demand, but plans to appeal, expecting a favorable outcome. The potential financial impact is quantified, and the company states no material impact on its operations or financials, leading to a neutral sentiment.
Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Limited has received an order from the Commissioner (Appeals) concerning a GST demand for the financial year 2019-20. This order upholds the decision of the Assistant Commissioner. The company had previously intimated exchanges on August 29, 2024, about receiving an order under Section 73 of the SGST Act, 2017, raising a demand based on an assessment order dated August 14, 2024.
The Commissioner (Appeals) has confirmed the order passed by the Assistant Commissioner. The demand raised pertains to alleged excess Input Tax Credit (ITC) claimed in GSTR 3B compared to GSTR 2A, short payment of tax against E-waybill records, and ineligible ITC in Table 8A of GSTR 9. The potential financial impact, quantified in monetary terms, is ₹3,32,72,923, comprising ₹1,50,08,177 in tax, ₹1,67,63,928 in interest, and ₹15,00,818 in penalty under the Goods and Service Tax Act, 2017.
Despite the order, the company plans to appeal against this decision before the appellate authorities under Section 112 of the SGST Act, 2017, based on legal advice and the merits of the case. The company reasonably expects a favorable outcome from the higher authorities. Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Limited has stated that there is no material impact on the company's financials, operations, or other activities.
