Railway construction PSU IRCON has filed a petition in the Uttarakhand High Court contesting a GST demand of Rs 72.41 crore.
IRCON Ltd, the government-owned railway construction firm, has approached the Uttarakhand High Court seeking relief from a Goods and Services Tax notice that demands payment of Rs 72.41 crore. The notice, issued by tax authorities, alleges that the company has an outstanding GST liability of the stated amount.
In its petition, IRCON argues that the demand is erroneous and requests the court to set aside the notice pending a detailed examination of the tax calculations. The company has not disclosed the specific grounds for its challenge, but such filings are common when large public sector undertakings dispute tax assessments.
The case will be heard by a bench of the High Court in Nainital, and a decision could have implications for other state-owned enterprises facing similar GST scrutiny.
