<h1>Jubilant FoodWorks Faces GST Show Cause Notice Proposing INR 46 Crore Demand</h1>
Jubilant FoodWorks Limited is contesting a Show Cause Notice (SCN) received from the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Department, which proposes a significant demand of INR 46,90,96,051. The SCN relates to the GST returns filed for the Financial Year 2026-27.
The regulatory communication, dated July 13, 2026, alleges issues regarding the Input Tax Credit (ITC) reversal process during the filing of the company’s GST return. Specifically, the SCN concerns the alleged incorrect presentation or classification of the ITC reversal.
Jubilant FoodWorks has stated that it is in the process of filing detailed objections with the GST Department within the stipulated timelines provided by the SCN. The management expressed confidence that post these submissions, the impugned SCN and the proposed demand are likely to be dropped.
The company affirmed that while facing the notice, it does not anticipate any material financial implications from this matter.
A summary of the regulatory communication and the company’s response is presented below:
| Particular | Details |
|---|---|
| Company | Jubilant FoodWorks Limited |
| Date of SCN Receipt | July 13, 2026 (IST) |
| Issuing Authority | Divisional Goods and Service Tax Office (DGSTO) |

| Financial Year Covered | Financial Year 2026-27 |
| Proposed GST Demand | INR 46,90,96,051 |
