On the reaction day the stock moved 1.2 pts less than Nifty Microcap 250 and 1.0 pts less than its Auto Components & Equipments peers, over the same two closes: a difference in percentage points, not a measure of what the filing did.
Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
The Karnataka commercial tax office alleges that Sterling Tools claimed Rs 78.71 lakh more IGST input tax credit than shown in GSTR-2B. It issued a notice seeking this amount plus interest and penalties. The company plans to respond within the required time and says it has strong factual and legal grounds.
There is no material impact at present, but the tax demand, interest and penalties could affect earnings and cash flow if upheld.
