Bajaj Electricals to Challenge Upheld GST Demand of Rs. 2.69 Crore

Bajaj Electricals Limited ( (IN:BAJAJELEC) ) has issued an announcement.

Bajaj Electricals has disclosed that the Appellate Authority and Additional Commissioner of Revenue, State Tax, Large Taxpayer Unit, West Bengal, has upheld a prior GST assessment order for FY 2020-21, confirming an aggregate demand of Rs. 2.69 crore, including a general penalty of Rs. 0.14 crore. The demand stems from alleged liabilities under the Reverse Charge Mechanism and mismatches in input tax credit claims, but management plans to pursue further legal remedies, and the company says any financial impact will be confined to the assessed amount with no effect on its operational or broader financial activities.

The company is evaluating options such as appealing to a higher appellate tribunal or approaching the High Court to challenge the order, indicating it intends to contest the tax position rather than immediately accept the liability. By emphasizing that operations and other activities remain unaffected, Bajaj Electricals is signaling to investors and stakeholders that this is a contained compliance dispute rather than a material threat to its ongoing business performance.
