Sr. No. Name of the opposing party Date of initiation of the litigation / dispute Status of the litigation / dispute as per last disclosure Current status of the litigation / dispute
1 Commissioner of Customs (Adjudication), Mumbai 14-Oct-2024 An appealable order is passed by the office of the Commissioner of Customs, Mumbai demanding duty of Rs. 30,46,87,136/- with applicable interest and penalty equivalent to the duty amount and fine of Rs.19,50,00,000/- under the Customs Act, 196. As per the judgement of the honorable Supreme Court dated 28th April, 2023 on the said issue, the assessee is entitled to take Input Tax Credit for duty paid. Further, on basis of our assessment, we believe that the consequential demand for penalty and fine is not sustainable. The Company is in the process of preferring an appeal against the said demand before the appellate authority. The Company has filed appeal before the CESTAT on 14-01-2025 against the Order of Commissioner of Customs (Adjudication), Mumbai.
2 The Assistant Commissioner, Central GST 19-May-2025 The Company had paid GST on Royalty @ 12 % at the time of filing GST3B relying on Sr.no 1 of the Notification No. 10/2017-1GST (Rate) dated 28 June 2017 till August 2022 under a bona fide impression that GST Rate applicable to the said transaction is 12%. During the annual internal review, it was observed there was a new notification No. 06/2021 - Central Tax (Rate) Dated 30-09-2021, which levied tax @ 18% on such transaction with immediate effect. Accordingly, a differential provision of 6% on Royalty was created in the books on 1st September 2022 and was paid along with applicable Interest on 15th October 2022. Despite the Suo-moto compliance, the Department passed the Order dated 13.05.2025 and has imposed a penalty for short payment of GST. The Company has filed appeal before the Additional /Joint Commissioner (Appeals) of CGST and Central Excise, Vadodara on 13-06-2025.
