Sarla Performance Fibers has received an Order-in-Original dated July 31, 2025 from the Additional Commissioner of Central GST & Central Excise, Surat, alleging wrongful claims of IGST refund of ₹9.45 crore on exports and unutilized ITC refund of ₹11.34 crore on duty-free imports. A total tax demand of ₹20.79 crore has been raised under Section 74 of the CGST Act, 2017, along with an equivalent penalty of ₹20.79 crore and applicable interest (amount not quantified). The order follows a show cause notice issued on June 23, 2025. The company states it acted in good faith with proper documentation and a bona fide interpretation of GST law, and plans to pursue legal recourse. The company currently asserts that no material financial impact is anticipated at this stage.
While the company plans to appeal and downplays the financial impact, a potential combined exposure of over ₹41.5 crore (tax + penalty, excluding interest) is material for a small-cap textile company and could weigh on the stock if the appeal is unsuccessful. Investors should watch for updates on the legal challenge and any quantified interest amount.
