In March 2024, Metro Brands had received an Assessment Order and demand notice from the Assistant Commissioner of Profession Tax, Mumbai, demanding about ₹1.28 crore (tax of ₹66.75 lakh, interest of ₹55.05 lakh, and penalty of ₹6.67 lakh) under the Maharashtra State Tax on Professions Act, 1975. The company had appealed this order. Following the Appellate Authority's direction, the Assistant Commissioner reviewed the case and passed a revised order dated 25th June 2025 in favour of the company, granting a refund of ₹30.58 lakh after adjusting ₹3.54 lakh towards tax, interest, and penalty. The company received the order on 30th June 2025 and has stated there is no material impact on its financials or operations.
This is a positive outcome for Metro Brands as the revised order significantly reduced the earlier profession tax demand and resulted in a net refund. The matter is small relative to the company's size, so there is no meaningful impact on earnings or share price.
