LEGAL 📅 24 Mar 2026, 02:42 PM

The Jammu & Kashmir Bank Limited has received a GST demand order totaling ₹400.42 crore, which includes a tax liability of ₹200.21 crore and an equivalent penalty of ₹200.21 crore.

The bank contends that these are notional internal entries for profitability measurement as per RBI guidelines and has already secured a stay order from the High Court in a similar previous case.

Competitive Landscape

Competes with 12 public sector banks, 11 private sector banks, and 10 cooperative banks within the J&K region.

Macro Economic Sensitivity

Highly sensitive to the regional GDP of J&K and Ladakh. Interest rate sensitivity is high, with a 16 basis point margin decline noted in recent quarters following rate adjustments.

Consumer Behavior
