Big Win! Rajasthan Appellate Authority Sets Aside Rs. 3.12 Crore Against Dabur India Limited Dabur India Limited has issued a regulatory filing dated February 27, 2026, addressed to the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) under Regulation 30 of the SEBI Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements Regulations 2015. This is an updated version of previous disclosures dated February 4, 2025, and October 03, 2025, regarding orders issued to the company passed by the Joint Commissioner, State Tax, Circle-C, Alwar, Rajasthan. The said orders had raised the aggregate demand amounting to Rs. 3.12 crore (including interest of Rs. 1.18 crore, a penalty of Rs. 97.28 lakh, and a tax demand of Rs. 97.28 lakh). The demand concerned the product misclassification issue. These orders pertained to the financial years 2017-18, 2018-19, and 2019-20. The company, aggrieved with the aforesaid order, had approached the First Appellate Authority, State Tax, Alwar, Rajasthan, challenging the same for each of the relevant financial years. When the Appellate Authority deeply analysed the facts of the case and the submissions made by the company, it set aside the entire demand, including the tax, interest, and penalty. With these directions, the earlier tax demand no longer stands. The company clarifies that the present action does not impact its financial activities or operations. The company stated that it received the order on February 26, 2026, at 7:13 p.m.
