Nature of Violations
The GST demand has arisen due to two primary violations identified by the tax authorities:
- Non-payment of GST due to adjustments in turnover shown in Form GSTR-9C
- Non-reversal of ineligible input tax credit availed on goods or services not used in relation to the furtherance of business
The penalties were levied under the Central Goods and Service Tax Act, 2017, read with the Telangana Goods and Service Tax Act, 2017, and the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017.
Company's Response and Assessment
Shriram Finance has stated that there is no material impact on the financial, operational, or other activities of the company from these penalty orders. However, considering the quantum of the amount involved and out of commercial prudence, the company is awaiting opinion from its tax consultant.
The company is specifically seeking consultation against the Telangana state demand orders with reference numbers ZD360226057423H, ZD3602260574378, and ZD3602260574469, all dated February 26, 2026.
Regulatory Compliance
The disclosure was made under Regulation 30 of the SEBI Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements Regulations, 2015. The company received the order on February 26, 2026, and forwarded it to the concerned officer on February 27, 2026, making the intimation immediately after receipt as required by listing regulations.
The penalty orders represent a significant regulatory development for the non-banking financial company, though the company maintains that operations remain unaffected while it evaluates its legal options through tax consultants.
