The demand relates to the disallowance of input tax credit (ITC) due to a mismatch between returns filed under GSTR-3B and ITC reflected in GSTR-2A, as per the order passed by the GST authorities in Himachal Pradesh. The appellate order was received by the company on December 22, following its issuance on December 11, 2025.

According to the disclosure, the total potential impact includes tax of ₹1.57 crore, interest of ₹1.61 crore and a penalty of ₹15.7 lakh. Crompton said there is no material impact on its financials, operations or business activities at this stage.

The consumer electricals maker said it plans to file a further appeal under Section 112 of the SGST Act, 2017, against the appellate order. Based on legal advice and merits of the case, the company said it reasonably expects a favourable outcome from higher appellate authorities.

Crompton had earlier disclosed the original GST demand in July 2024 and had indicated its intention to contest the assessment. The latest development marks a continuation of the ongoing tax dispute, which remains subject to further legal proceedings
