Shree Cement receives GST demand order of ₹15.59 Crore, to file appeal
Shree Cement received a GST demand order for ₹7.80 crore tax and ₹7.80 crore penalty, totaling ₹15.59 crore. The company disputes the demand for wrong input tax credit availment and plans to file an appeal by 23rd May 2026. The order is not expected to have a major financial impact.
The impact is assessed as medium because while the company states it has no major financial impact and plans to appeal, the demand and penalty amount of ₹15.59 crore is substantial. The outcome of the appeal will determine the ultimate financial impact.
The company has received a significant tax demand and penalty order from GST authorities, which is a negative development. Although the company plans to appeal and believes the impact is not major, the initial order itself is negative.
Shree Cement Limited has announced the receipt of a GST demand order from the Joint Commissioner, Central Tax & Central Excise, Belagavi. The order confirms a tax demand of ₹7,79,78,359 (7.80 crore) along with a penalty of ₹7,79,78,359 (7.80 crore), totaling ₹15,59,56,718 (15.59 crore).
The order, dated 23rd February 2026, was received by the company on 24th February 2026. The alleged contravention pertains to the wrong availment of input tax credit.
Despite the demand, the company has stated that the order has no major financial impact. Shree Cement Limited does not agree with the contentions of the order and plans to file an appeal under Section 107 of the Karnataka GST Act. The appeal is expected to be filed on or before 23rd May 2026, within the stipulated three-month period from the communication date of the order.
