Dear Sirs,
Sub: Disclosure under Regulation 30 of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
Pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (“LODR Regulations”), we wish to inform you that, the Company has received on December 14, 2023 an Order dated November 17, 2023 issued by the Excise & Taxation Officer, UT Chandigarh , basis the scrutiny of returns for the period from April 2016 to March 2017 for Chandigarh CST for a Tax demand of Rs. 10,80,390/-, Interest of Rs. 4,48,362/- and Penalty of Rs. 5,000/- under Punjab VAT Act, 2005, aggregating to a total demand of Rs. 15,33,752/-.
Based on our assessment, we believe that the said demand is not maintainable and the Company is in the process of preferring an appeal against the CST demand. The order has no material impact on the financial, operation or other activities of the Company.
Additional details required to be disclosed pursuant to the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations 2015 read with SEBI Circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/CFD-PoD1/P/CIR/2023/123 dated July 13, 2023 are enclosed as Annexure A.
