Kalpataru Projects International Pays ₹10.46 Lakh GST Penalty to Release Detained Vehicle, Plans Appeal

Vehicle Detention Resolved via GST Penalty Payment

Kalpataru Projects International Ltd paid ₹10.46 lakhs to the GST Authority on July 29, 2026, to release a detained vehicle involved in an inter-state goods transfer. The GST Authority detained a vehicle transporting goods from one project site to another across state lines. The authority alleged that the goods were not covered by valid documents.

Voluntary Payment to Resume Operations

The company disclosed that the payment was made to mitigate operational delays while it prepares to file an appeal against the authority's actions, asserting that the penalty does not significantly impact its financial or operational activities. The company stated that no formal order or direction had yet been passed by the authority; however, the penalty was paid voluntarily to facilitate the immediate release of the detained asset.

Clarifications Submitted, Appeal Planned

Kalpataru Projects submitted clarifications citing relevant provisions of the GST law but proceeded with the penalty payment to resolve the detention. The company plans to appeal the decision. The disclosure was made under Regulation 30 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, on July 29, 2026, at approximately 11:05 a.m. IST.
