While the company states no immediate material impact, the demand and penalty of approximately ₹109.17 crore could potentially affect financials if the appeal is unsuccessful. The appeal process itself also indicates a level of risk.
The company has received a significant tax demand and penalty, which is negative. However, the company believes there is no immediate material impact and plans to appeal, expecting a favorable outcome, which mitigates the negativity.
IdeaForge Technology Limited has received an order under Section 74 of the Central Goods & Services Tax (CGST) Act, 2017, demanding a tax liability of ₹545.86 Million (approximately ₹54.59 crore) along with a penalty of ₹545.86 Million (approximately ₹54.59 crore).
The order covers the periods from January 2022 to March 2024. The tax authority alleged that the company wrongly discharged GST at 5% instead of the differential rate of 13%. However, the company noted that in 2025, the government clarified the GST rate for drones to be 5%.
The company received the order on October 01, 2026, and has considered it appropriate to disclose this under SEBI Listing Regulations. IdeaForge stated that there is no immediate material impact on its financials, business operations, or other activities due to this order. The company, in consultation with its tax advisors, plans to file an appeal against the order with the appropriate Authority and expects a favourable outcome. Any material update will be disclosed as per regulatory provisions.
