JSW Dulux Wins Karnataka GST Appeal; Demand of ₹1.58 Crore Annulled
JSW Dulux Limited's appeal against a Karnataka GST demand of ₹1.58 crore for the 2020-21 period has been successful. The company received an Appeal Order on July 19, 2026, annulling the original demand for tax, interest, and penalty. This follows an appeal filed against the initial order dated March 3, 2025.
The annulment of a tax demand of over ₹1.5 crore is a material development that positively impacts the company's financials and reduces potential liabilities. While not a strategic business change, it resolves a significant financial dispute.
The company has successfully appealed a significant tax demand, resulting in the annulment of the original order and a zero revised demand. This is a positive outcome for the company's financial position.
JSW Dulux Limited has received a favorable Appeal Order on July 19, 2026, from the Karnataka GST Department, concerning a Demand Order initially issued on March 3, 2025. The original order had disallowed input tax credit under Section 74 of the CGST Act, 2017, demanding a total of ₹1,57,91,107/-, comprising ₹82,95,827/- in tax, ₹58,36,114/- in interest, and ₹16,59,166/- in penalty for the period 2020-21.
The company had filed an appeal with supporting documents against this demand. The Joint Commissioner of Commercial Taxes (Appeals)-5, Bangalore, reviewed the appeal and, in their order dated July 13, 2026, revised the demand amount to zero. Consequently, the original Demand Notice has been annulled.
This update pertains to the litigation disclosed earlier on March 3, 2025, and is in compliance with Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
