IPCA Laboratories Limited — Important, 16-01-2025: General Updates

The Company has received an Order in Original from the Assistant Commissioner of CGST demanding an amount of ₹54.26 lakh (including interest and penalty) for the financial years 2017-18 to 2021-22. The demand cites issues like wrongful availment of Input Tax Credit (ITC) and short payment of tax based on reconciliation discrepancies between GSTR-9 and GSTR-3B. However, the Company asserts that this tax demand lacks legal foundation and does not have any material impact on its financials or operations. The Company plans to file an appeal against the order within the required timelines, indicating a proactive stance in addressing the issue.
