The company stated that the order dated March 5, 2026 was received through email. The tax demand has been raised primarily on the contention that tax amounting to ₹4,57,79,447 is payable on export turnover after treating the same as local sales.
Additionally, the GST authority has levied a further tax demand of ₹45,72,022 citing non-specified reasons related to the issuance of certain credit notes pertaining to export turnover.
