Finolex Cables receives ₹22 Crore GST demand order from Chandigarh tax authority
Finolex Cables received a GST demand order of ₹22 crore from the Chandigarh Commercial Tax Officer for FY 2021-22. The demand includes ₹11.83 crore tax, ₹8.99 crore interest, and ₹1.19 crore penalty. The company plans to appeal and does not foresee a major impact on its operations.
The company explicitly stated that the tax demand is 'not having major impact on operations of the Company'. This indicates a low financial and operational impact despite the monetary value of the demand.
The company has received a tax demand order, which is a negative event. However, the company states it does not have a major impact and has the option to appeal, balancing the negative aspect.
Finolex Cables Limited has received an order dated 20.12.2025 from the Commercial Tax Officer, Ward-5, Chandigarh, concerning a demand for GST for the Financial Year 2021-22. The order, received by the company on 22.12.2025, confirms a demand under a Show Cause Notice related to a mismatch in Input Tax Credit (ITC) and other issues.
The alleged contravention pertains to the company taking credit for which the supplier allegedly uploaded different HSN codes than those used by the company. The total tax demand is ₹22,00,51,844/-, comprising Tax of ₹11,82,52,691/-, Interest of ₹8,99,23,883/-, and Penalty of ₹1,18,75,270/-.
