KPIL's GST Appellate Authority upholds ₹3.72 crore penalty; company to appeal further
The company had previously stated that the demanded tax and penalty do not have any significant impact on its financial, operational, or other activities.
The Appellate Authority has upheld the GST penalty of ₹3.72 crore, which is an unfavorable outcome for the company, despite its intent to appeal further.
* Kalpataru Projects International Limited (KPIL) had previously received an order from the GST Authority on 26th December 2023, demanding a penalty of ₹3.72 crore in addition to tax and interest, for the financial year 2017-18. * This demand was based on a mismatch in Input Tax Credit (ITC) availed in GSTR-3B and ITC available in GSTR-2A. * KPIL had filed an appeal against this order before the Hon'ble Appellate Authority. * On 11th September 2025, the Hon'ble Appellate Authority upheld the original order passed by the GST Authority. * The company believes it has a strong case to defend the matter before a higher appellate authority, as the order was issued without considering its reply and documentary evidence, and intends to file a further appeal within the prescribed timelines. * KPIL had previously stated that this tax and penalty demand does not have any significant impact on the company.
