As per the disclosure, the Ahmedabad GST department has issued an order dated December 12, 2025, raising GST demand of Rs 30,49,675 along with interest under section 50 of the Gujarat GST Act, 2017 and the CGST Act, along with a penalty of Rs 30,69,675 under section 74 of the CGST Act for disallowed input tax credit (ITC) during the financial years from 2018-19 to 2020-21.
