What’s new

  • GST demand of ₹30.32 lakh for alleged short payment of output tax (Apr '25 to Feb '26).
  • Company says it has a strong case and no financial impact expected.
  • Notice issued under Section 74A(9)(i) of CGST/AP GST Act.

Why it matters

For a nano-cap with ₹12.64 lakh in annual profit, a ₹30 lakh tax demand is existential, regardless of legal merits. The company's assertion of no impact is at odds with the numbers: the demand alone exceeds two years of profits.

What we’re watching

  • Outcome of the adjudication under Section 74A.
  • Any provision the company may set aside in upcoming results.
  • Whether similar notices for other periods emerge.

The full read

Southern Magnesium & Chemicals, a nano-cap with a market cap of ₹24 crore, has received a GST demand of ₹30.32 lakh for alleged short payment of output tax. The notice covers April 2025 to February 2026 and was issued under Section 74A(9)(i). The company says it has a strong case and expects no financial impact. But the demand is material: compare it to FY26 PAT of just ₹12.64 lakh. For a business that size, a tax notice this large is an overhang regardless of legal outcome. The next quarter's results will show if management provisions anything.
