Orchid Pharma Receives Tax Order for ₹1.67 Cr Refund Recovery

AI Summary

Orchid Pharma Limited has received an order from the Goods and Service Department confirming the demand and recovery of an erroneously refunded amount of ₹1,67,07,937 along with applicable interest. The company believes the order is unjustified and unsustainable, and intends to file an appeal. The matter pertains to a period before the company's Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) and subsequent acquisition. Management is of the view that liabilities from the pre-acquisition period are addressed under the approved Resolution Plan, and therefore, the order is not expected to have a material impact on the company's financials or operations.

Key Highlights

  • Tax department orders recovery of ₹1.67 Cr refund plus interest.
  • Company deems the order unjustified and plans to appeal.
  • Issue predates CIRP and acquisition; liabilities addressed by Resolution Plan.
  • No material impact expected on financials or operations.
