Swaraj Engines has received a demand order from the Excise & Taxation Officer-cum Designated Officer in S.A.S. Nagar (Mohali), Punjab, imposing a penalty of Rs. 40,82,874 under sections 53 and 60 of the Punjab VAT Act, 2005. The order relates to an alleged excess VAT Input Tax Credit (ITC) claimed by the company on account of entry tax paid on the purchase of Oil & Lubricants in FY 2013-14. The order was dated 9th May 2025 and was physically handed over to the company on 3rd June 2025. The company plans to file an appeal and is hopeful of a favorable outcome at the appellate level. Management has stated that it does not reasonably expect the order to have any material financial impact on the company.
The penalty amount (~Rs. 41 lakhs) is small relative to Swaraj Engines' scale, and the company is contesting it through appeal. Shareholders are unlikely to see a material financial impact unless the appeal fails, which management considers unlikely.
