JK Lakshmi Cement Limited announced that the GST appellate authority has ruled in its favour for FY 2019-20, setting aside a total tax demand of Rs. 1626.41 Lakhs. The Office of the Additional Commissioner (Appeal) of State Tax, Chhattisgarh, issued an order on June 11, 2026, overturning the earlier demand raised by the Office of the Joint Commissioner of State Tax, Durg Division, Chhattisgarh.

The company had previously received orders on August 29, 2024, and August 30, 2024, which raised a demand involving tax, interest, and penalty. The appellate decision removes this financial liability, resulting in no expected financial implications for the company.

Breakdown of Original Demand

The original demand contested by the company included significant components for tax, interest, and penalty related to the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) and Input Tax Credit.

Component	Amount (Rs.)
Tax	879.15 Lakhs
Interest	659.35 Lakhs
Penalty	87.91 Lakhs

The dispute primarily concerned the application of the Reverse Charge Mechanism on inter-state purchases on a pro-rata basis, disallowance of Input Tax Credit, and certain other matters. Following the company's challenge, the appellate authority accepted the arguments, leading to the demand being set aside.

The disclosure was submitted to the exchanges in compliance with Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
