JK Tyre & Industries has informed the stock exchanges that the Commissioner (Appeals) for CGST and Central Excise, Bhopal, has ruled against the company in its appeal over a GST order. The original dispute (from March 2024) relates to reversal of input tax credit of Rs. 8.78 crore on lease rentals of machineries, along with an equal penalty of Rs. 8.78 crore and applicable interest. The company had filed its first appeal on 29th May 2024, which has now been dismissed. The company states it has a strong case and intends to appeal before higher tax authorities, and asserts there is no material impact on its financial, operational, or other activities.
This is a negative but limited development. The combined demand of roughly Rs. 17.56 crore (excluding interest) is not material to a company of JK Tyre's scale, and the company still has the option to escalate the matter. Short-term sentiment may be mildly negative due to the appeal loss, but a final adverse order from a higher forum would be the key risk for shareholders to watch.
