Eicher Motors Slides After Rs 130 cr Demand Notice, Dip in 2-Wheeler Sales

Eicher Motors share price declined over 2 percent in the morning session on January 2. The stock was under pressure after the company received demand orders from Chennai, Punjab, and Jaipur worth Rs 130 crore.

According to an exchange filing, the officer has disallowed specific GST credits and raised a GST demand, primarily due to a disparity in GST credit matching between the company’s GST availment and the information provided by suppliers in their GST returns.

“Based on Eichers’ assessment, the aforesaid demands are not maintainable and the company is evaluating all options including filing an appeal against the orders. The company did not envisage any relevant impact on financials, operations, or other activities of Eicher Motors,” it said.
