Aditya Infotech Receives Customs Order for ₹30.86 Crore Duty and Penalties
Aditya Infotech Limited received a customs order demanding ₹30.86 crore in differential duty and penalties for alleged incorrect availment of customs duty concessions on imported 4G routers. The company disputes the demand and plans to appeal. No material impact on financials or operations is expected.
The order imposes a substantial financial liability of over ₹30 crore, which could have a significant impact on the company's financial standing, even though the company claims no material impact.
The company has been issued an order imposing a significant financial demand in the form of custom duties and penalties, which is a negative development.
Aditya Infotech Limited has received an Order-In-Original (O-I-O) from the Office of the Commissioner of Customs Chennai -II (Imports) dated January 13, 2026. The order, received by the company on January 14, 2026, imposes a demand for differential custom duty amounting to ₹10,32,87,833/-, along with a penalty of equal amount under section 114A. Additionally, a redemption fine of ₹4,00,00,000/-, an additional penalty of ₹4,00,00,000/- under section 114AA, and a penalty of ₹2,20,00,000/- on the company's personnel and CHA under section 112(a) of the Customs Act, 1962, have been levied.
This aggregate demand of ₹30,85,75,666/- (excluding interest) stems from allegations of incorrect availment of concessions under Customs Exemption Notification No. 57/2017 and No. 24/2005 on the import of 4G routers. The department contends that these items are "Devices for assessing cellular Internet using 4G LTE" and should be assessed under CTI 8517 6290 with a Basic Customs Duty (BCD) of 20% plus 10% SWS and 18% IGST, rather than being cleared with NIL Duty + 18% IGST as done by the company. The company had previously deposited ₹6 crore against potential duty liability before the order was issued.
The company believes the levied duty and penalties are exempted under the Customs Act, 1962, and intends to file an appeal against the order. Apart from the amount to be paid, Aditya Infotech Limited states that there is no material impact on the company's financials, operations, or other activities.
