Tata Steel Limited has filed a Writ Petition before the Hon'ble High Court of Jharkhand on March 11, 2026, challenging an Adjudication Order dated December 18, 2025, passed by the Commissioner of CGST & Central Excise, Jamshedpur.
The company had previously received a show cause cum demand notice (SCN) on June 27, 2025, proposing a disallowance of Input Tax Credit (ITC) for FY2018-19 through FY2022-23, amounting to ₹1007,54,83,342. The alleged GST exposure was ₹493,35,47,131, as ₹514,19,36,211 had already been paid in the normal course of business.
The Adjudication Order directed the payment of tax amounting to ₹493,35,47,131, a penalty of ₹638,82,62,185, and appropriate interest. Tata Steel believes that the submissions made by the company were not properly considered during the adjudication process and that it has a strong case on merits. The company is seeking the quashing of the aforementioned order.
