HCL Infosystems Receives CGST Rectification Order; ₹80.22 Lakh Demand Error Corrected
HCL Infosystems received a rectification order from CGST Noida, correcting an earlier Rs. 80.22 lakh tax demand error with no financial impact on the company
HCL Infosystems Limited has reported receiving a rectification order from the Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) department, Noida, addressing an earlier tax demand of Rs. 80.22 lakhs that had been erroneously confirmed.
Earlier this year, on February 5, 2025, the company disclosed that it had received a demand order from CGST authorities related to the reversal of various pre-GST cesses transitioned into the GST regime. Although the amount in question had already been reversed by the company under protest, a summary order (Form DRC-07) mistakenly confirmed the demand again.
HCL Infosystems filed a rectification application under Section 161 of the CGST Act, 2017, to resolve the issue. The authorities accepted the request and issued a rectification order in Form DRC-08 on June 3, 2025. This order acknowledged the earlier appropriation and corrected the demand details on the GSTN portal.
The company clarified that there were no violations or contraventions involved and that the rectified order has no material impact on its financial, operational, or other business activities. The disclosure was made in accordance with regulatory requirements to maintain transparency in tax-related matters.
