Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Ltd has updated exchanges regarding a GST-related development. The company received an order from the Commissioner (Appeals) on December 22, 2025, partially confirming an earlier assessment order passed by the Assistant Commissioner, South Zone, Baddi, Himachal Pradesh. The assessment pertains to the financial year 2019-20 and involves a demand arising from the disallowance of input tax credit due to a mismatch between GSTR 3B and ITC reflected in GSTR 2A.

The company had previously intimated that it would appeal the Assistant Commissioner’s order, and now, after the partial confirmation by the Commissioner (Appeals), Crompton plans to further challenge the order under Section 112 of the SGST Act, 2017. The company expects a favourable outcome from the appellate authorities, based on legal merits and consultant advice.
