FDC Limited has received a tax demand order from the Deputy Commissioner of State Tax, Kalbadevi (Maharashtra GST Department), for the financial year 2021-22. The tax authority has alleged misclassification of GST rate, claiming the company should have charged 28% instead of 18%. The total demand is approximately ₹15.61 crore, comprising a differential tax of ₹8.42 crore, interest of ₹6.35 crore, and a penalty of ₹0.84 crore. The company has stated it will examine the order and pursue appropriate legal remedies to contest the demand. Importantly, management has indicated it does not foresee any material financial impact from this order.
While the demand size (~₹15.61 crore) is meaningful, the company has said it does not expect a material financial hit and plans to challenge it. Investors should monitor the outcome of the legal contest, as an adverse ruling could affect earnings. Near-term stock impact is likely limited given management's reassurance.
