Escorts Kubota Limited has been issued a tax demand of ₹10,02,652 along with an equivalent penalty by the State Tax Officer of GST, Bhopal Division-1, Madhya Pradesh. The demand, confirmed on March 28, 2026, arises from the generation of duplicate E-way bills due to a technical bug on the portal.
The company plans to appeal the decision before the appellate authority, as stated in their regulatory filing to the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE). The tax demand and penalty were confirmed by the State Tax Officer, and the company received the order on the same date.
The issue pertains to the generation of duplicate E-way bills, which are crucial for the movement of goods in compliance with GST regulations. The technical glitch that led to this situation has resulted in significant financial implications for Escorts Kubota, amounting to a total of ₹20,05,304 in tax demand and penalty.
The company is taking steps to address the matter and has expressed its intention to challenge the order. The filing did not specify how the financial impact would affect the company’s operations or financial activities beyond the stated monetary demand.
