Essar Oil is likely to file a review petition against the Supreme Court ruling yesterday which held that the Ruias-promoted firm was liable to pay deferred sales tax to the Gujarat government. According to the company, Essar has availed Rs 6,308 crore as on December 31, 2011 under a special scheme of the Gujarat government which had granted deferment of sales tax for 17 years for construction of 9 million tonne refinery at Vadinar. Although Essar Oil failed to meet the deadline as it started production only in 2006, the company was granted exemption under the scheme, the Capital Investment Incentive to Premier/Prestigious Unit Scheme, 1995-2000. Later, the arrangement was revoked by the state government and the matter went to the Gujarat High Court which ruled in favor of Essar. The Gujarat government challenged the high court verdict in the Supreme Court which held that Essar was liable to pay the deferred sales tax as it failed to meet the deadline.
