Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
The Madras High Court has disposed of the writ petition filed by Velan Hotels against a demand for entry tax on an Audi car imported in 2006, along with penalty and interest, raised by the Assistant Commissioner (ST), Tirupur. The court did not grant the writ but gave the company liberty to file an appeal before the Appellate Authority within 30 days. Importantly, the recovery of the entry tax, penalty, and interest has been kept in abeyance (paused) for 60 days from the date of the order, subject to the company securing a further stay from the Appellate Authority after this period. The company has committed to providing further updates on material developments.
Short-term relief for shareholders as the tax recovery is paused for 60 days, giving the company breathing room to appeal. However, the original demand still stands and the final outcome depends on the Appellate Authority's decision, creating some uncertainty around a potential future liability.
