Bajaj Consumer Care faces tax demand for vehicle incident, no operational impact

Bajaj Consumer Care Limited announced on November 1, 2025, that it received an order from the deputy commercial tax officer, Erode, Tamil Nadu, dated October 31, 2025. The order concerns a demand for tax and a penalty of INR 65,657 under Section 129(3) read with Section 122(2) of the CGST Act, 2017. This action resulted from goods being dispatched from an unregistered location with a declared tax value of INR 0.

The company stated the order was issued due to a vehicle detention incident. Despite the penalty, Bajaj Consumer Care asserts there is no impact on its financial, operational, or other activities due to the alleged tax demand.

The company confirmed the order is appealable and it is actively contesting the matter at a higher appellate level. The disclosure was made pursuant to Regulation 30 of the Securities Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended.
