Dabur India receives updated CGST demand of ₹271.69 crore, down from ₹320.60 crore
The confirmed tax demand of ₹271.69 crore along with an equal penalty and interest represents a significant potential financial liability for the company, despite the reduction from previous demands and the company's stated lack of operational impact.
The tax demand has been reduced from the original amount, which is a positive aspect, but the company still faces a substantial financial liability including penalty and interest, and plans to appeal further.
