Background of the Case

Earlier, on May 25th, 2025, the Commissioner (Appeal) passed an order that upheld a demand of Rs 17.06 lakh in ineligible Input Tax Credit (ITC) and levied an equal penalty. However, the CIT(A) also deleted a balance demand of Rs 89.32 crore along with the interest and penalty. Additionally, it had also sent one issue involving a demand of Rs 6.24 crore to the proper officer for fresh consideration. The CIT(A) had cleared the company and its executives of certain personal penalties. However, the Principal Commissioner of the CGST Commissionerate, Ludhiana, has now filed a petition before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, challenging the CIT(A)'s order.
