Kalpataru Projects International Limited (KPIL) has had its appeal against an earlier GST order upheld by the Hon’ble Appellate Authority. The company received the order on September 11, 2025.
The initial order, against which KPIL had appealed, demanded a penalty of ₹3.72 crore in addition to tax demand and interest due to a mismatch in Input Tax Credit (ITC) claimed in GSTR-3B versus ITC available in GSTR-2A for the financial year 2017-18.
KPIL intends to pursue a further appeal against the order with a higher appellate authority, citing a strong case based on the company's reply and documentary evidence that were allegedly not considered in the initial order.
On December 27, 2023, KPIL had informed the stock exchanges about receiving an order under Section 74 of the CGST Act, 2017, and Section 20 of the IGST Act, 2017, from the Central Goods and Service Tax (CGST) Department. The order pertained to the financial year 2017-18 and involved discrepancies in ITC claims.
The authority had demanded GST along with penalty for the period F.Y. 2017-18 on the grounds of mismatch in ITC availed in GSTR-3B and ITC available in GSTR-2A, without considering the reply and submissions made by the Company.
The authority had demanded GST amount of ₹3.72 Crores along with penalty of ₹3.72 Crores. The authority has also ordered to levy Interest as applicable under Section 50(3) of the Act
The Tax and penalty levied is covered under (b) above. The same does not have any significant impact on the Company.
The company will prefer further appeal against the said Order within prescribed timelines.
