Cummins India to Appeal Rs 105 Crore GST Demand and Penalty

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Cummins India Limited ( (IN:CUMMINSIND) ) has issued an update.

Cummins India Limited has disclosed that the Additional Commissioner of CGST, Pune-II has raised a tax demand of Rs 52.56 crore and an equivalent penalty under Section 74 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act for financial years 2019-20 to 2021-22. The demand arises from authorities allegedly treating a leave and license agreement as a finance lease implying transfer of proprietary interest in leased property, a position the company disputes.

The company plans to challenge the order by filing an appeal before the appropriate authority, signalling that the matter could remain under litigation for some time. Management has stated that the penalty will not have a material impact on its financials, operations or other activities, suggesting limited near-term business disruption but adding a compliance overhang that investors and other stakeholders will likely monitor.
