KPIL's GST Appeal Partially Allowed, Penalty Reduced to ₹56.63 Lakhs
Kalpataru Projects International Limited (KPIL) announced a partial success in its GST appeal. The penalty amount has been reduced from ₹2.64 Crores to ₹56.63 Lakhs. The company received the order on May 11, 2026, and plans to file a further appeal.
The penalty amount of ₹56.63 lakhs is a small fraction of the company's overall financial operations and is not expected to have a significant impact.
While the appeal was partially allowed and the penalty reduced, the company still plans to file a further appeal, indicating the matter is not fully resolved. The reduction in penalty is positive, but the ongoing litigation prevents a fully positive sentiment.
Kalpataru Projects International Limited (KPIL) announced on May 12, 2026, that the Hon’ble Appellate Authority has partially allowed its appeal against a GST demand order. Previously, on December 27, 2024, the company had disclosed receiving an order from the GST Authority demanding a penalty of ₹2.64 Crores, along with tax and interest.
This demand was related to alleged wrong availment of credit of education & higher education cess, non-payment of tax on corporate guarantees, and non-payment of tax under the reverse charge mechanism for the financial years 2017-18 to 2021-22. The company had filed an appeal against this order.
The Hon’ble Appellate Authority, in its order received on May 11, 2026, has partially allowed the appeal, leading to a reduction in the tax and interest demand. The penalty has been reduced to ₹56.63 lakhs. KPIL stated that the order was issued in partial consideration of the company's reply and submitted documentary evidence, and the company believes it has a strong case to defend the matter further before higher appellate authorities. KPIL plans to prefer a further appeal against this order within the prescribed timelines.
