Vedanta Limited Receives Penalty Orders Totaling ₹11.6 Crore from Tax Authorities
Vedanta Limited received two penalty orders from tax authorities. One from Goa for ₹19.34 lakh concerning input tax credit, and another from Rourkela for ₹10.65 crore for delayed tax payments. The company is assessing next steps and expects no material financial impact from either order.
While the company states no material financial impact is expected, the total penalty amount of approximately ₹11.6 crore is significant. The need to potentially appeal also indicates a medium-term operational and financial consideration.
The company has received penalty orders from tax authorities, which is a negative development. However, the company is evaluating its options and does not expect a material financial impact, balancing the negativity.
Vedanta Limited has disclosed that it has received penalty orders from two tax authorities.
The Office of the Commercial Tax in Panaji, Goa, has confirmed a penalty of ₹19,33,693.78, along with applicable tax demand and interest. This pertains to the availment and utilization of input tax credit during the financial year 2018-19. The order was received on December 24, 2025.
Additionally, the Office of the Joint Commissioner, GST & Central Excise in Rourkela, has confirmed a penalty of ₹10,65,43,888/-, along with tax demand and applicable interest. This issue relates to the delayed payment of tax liability from FY 2018-19 to FY 2022-23. This order was also received on December 24, 2025.
Vedanta Limited is currently evaluating its next course of action for the Goa order and does not anticipate a material financial impact. For the Rourkela order, the company intends to file an appeal and is hopeful of a favorable outcome, also not expecting any material financial impact.
