SRF Limited Wins Appeal Against CGST Penalty of ₹36.86 Lakhs
SRF Limited has won an appeal at CESTAT, Delhi, quashing a penalty of ₹36.86 Lakhs imposed by CGST & Cex, Gwalior. The tribunal ruled the demand unsustainable against the company. This favorable order follows SRF's appeal against the initial penalty.
The penalty amount of ₹36.86 Lakhs is relatively small compared to SRF's overall revenue and financial standing, hence the impact is considered low.
The company has received a favorable appellate order, quashing a previously imposed penalty, which is a positive outcome.
SRF Limited has received a favorable appellate order from the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT), Delhi. This order allows SRF's appeal and quashes the earlier penalty of ₹36,85,987 imposed by the Assistant Commissioner, CGST & Cex, Division – II, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh.
The penalty was initially imposed on the company, and SRF had filed an appeal with CESTAT. The tribunal has now ruled that the demand cannot be sustained against the company, effectively overturning the original order.
This decision follows SRF's earlier intimation dated 20th November 2023, regarding the imposition of the penalty. The company's compliance and legal teams have successfully contested the demand through the appellate process.
