The order is under the ambit of the Central Goods & Services Tax Act, 2017.
"The Company is reviewing the said order and will take appropriate steps in due course. There is no material impact on the Company due to the said order," said the company.
Gillette ended at Rs5,695.75 per piece up by Rs5.1 or 0.09% from its previous closing of Rs5,690.65 per piece on the BSE.
