Setback to Maruti Suzuki as Haryana GST Appellate Authority upholds Rs. 139 Cr Demand Notice

The Haryana GST Appellate Authority upheld a Rs. 139 crore demand notice against Maruti Suzuki. The notice was related to tax liabilities arising from certain transactions. Maruti had contested the demand, arguing that the assessment was erroneous, but the appellate authority found that the demand was valid and in accordance with the law. The ruling marks a setback for the automobile manufacturer, which will now be required to settle the outstanding tax liability unless it successfully appeals the decision in a higher court.
