On Thursday, December 4th, the stock price of DIC India, a printing inks manufacturer, saw a notable increase. The shares rose to an intraday high of ₹528.45 on the NSE, driven by a positive change in the company’s tax liabilities as determined by the Karnataka GST department. This movement represents a recovery of around 9% from the company’s lowest point for the year, which was recorded last month at ₹485.
GST Demand Revision Explained
The initial issue was a demand of ₹6.71 crore from the Karnataka GST department. This demand stemmed from a ‘Show Cause Notice’ (DRC-01) regarding alleged misuse of input tax credit (ITC) and unpaid taxes by certain suppliers for the financial year 2021-22. The department issued an order under Form DRC-07.
However, after representations were made to the Assistant Commissioner of Commercial Taxes in Bengaluru, the GST demand was drastically reduced. The revised demand now stands at ₹3.81 lakh, a decrease of ₹6.67 crore. This reduction includes GST, interest, and a penalty.
Company Response and Future Actions
DIC India stated that this revision has no impact on the company’s financials, operations, or other business activities, except for this specific adjustment. They are currently conducting a thorough review of the revised order and will decide on subsequent actions based on their comprehensive analysis.
