The Parwanoo South Zone Enforcement wing of Himachal Excise and Taxation Department inspected stocks of Adani Wilmar Ltd at Parwanoo late Wednesday evening. It was a routine inspection of stock, officials of the excise and tax department told the PTI on Thursday.

The company, engaged in warehousing of Kirana (grocery items), also provides goods to the civil supplies department and police department in the state, PTI reported. It has recorded a business of Rs 135 crore last year.

The company’s entire GST input was adjusted through tax credit but no payment was made in cash, the excise department has said. Seven companies of the Adani Group are doing business in the state.

Adani Wilmar in a statement said that the officials did not find any irregularities in the operations and dealings conducted by the company.

“One of Adani Wilmar’s depot warehouse at Parwanoo, Himachal Pradesh was visited by GST officials yesterday evening. The staff extended their support during this routine inspection, fully co-operating with the officials and local authorities,” it said.

“We would like to clarify that the concerns specific to GST payments in cash, citing GST law under Rule 86B, the company is not required to pay tax liability in cash,” it added.

The company also said that this was a routine inspection carried out by the officials, and not a raid.
