Orchid Pharma Receives GST Order for ₹1.67 Cr Refund Recovery; Plans Appeal
Orchid Pharma received an order from GST authorities for recovery of ₹1.67 Cr refund plus interest. The company plans to appeal, believing the demand is unjustified. Management expects no material financial impact due to prior acquisition under a resolution plan.
The company explicitly states that the order will not have a material impact on its financials, operations, or other activities, despite the demand of ₹1.67 crore.
The company received an order for refund recovery, which is a negative development. However, the company believes the order is unjustified and plans to appeal, and also states it will not have a material impact, which mitigates the negative sentiment.
Orchid Pharma Limited has received an order from the Additional Commissioner of Central Tax, Chennai-Outer Commissionerate, under Section 11A of the Central Excise Act, 1944. The order confirms the demand and recovery of an erroneously sanctioned refund amounting to ₹1,67,07,937, along with applicable interest.
The company received this order on June 09, 2026. The Goods and Services Tax department has ascertained that the demanded amount was erroneously refunded by the Assistant Commissioner of Central Excise, Poonamalle Division, and needs to be recovered.
Orchid Pharma believes the order, including the demand and interest, is unjustified and unsustainable. The company intends to pursue appropriate legal remedies by filing an appeal before the competent appellate authority. Management notes that the subject matter pertains to a period prior to the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) and the company's subsequent acquisition under an approved Resolution Plan. They are of the view that liabilities from the period prior to acquisition are addressed under the Resolution Plan.
Consequently, the company understands and believes that this order will not have a material impact on its financials, operations, or other activities.
