Aditya Infotech Limited has disclosed receiving a significant customs penalty order from the Commissioner of Customs Chennai-II, involving allegations of incorrect duty exemption claims on imported 4G routers. The company made this disclosure under Regulation 30 of SEBI Listing Regulations on January 15, 2026.

Order Details and Financial Impact

The Order-In-Original No. 117308/2026 dated January 13, 2026, was received by the company on January 14, 2026, through email. The comprehensive penalty structure includes multiple components totaling ₹30.86 crores excluding interest.

Nature of Alleged Violations

The customs department has alleged incorrect availment of concessions under Customs Exemption Notification No. 57/2017 and No. 24/2005 on import of 4G routers. According to the order, the company cleared 4G routers with NIL Duty plus 18% IGST, treating them as exempt items.

However, the department contends that these items qualify as "Devices for accessing cellular Internet using 4G LTE" and fall under the exclusion list of notification no 57/2017. The department believes these should be assessed under CTI 8517 6290 with:

• Basic Customs Duty (BCD): 20%
• Social Welfare Surcharge (SWS): 10%
• Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST): 18%

Company's Response and Preparatory Measures

Demonstrating proactive compliance measures, Aditya Infotech had already deposited ₹6 crores against potential duty liability before the issuance of the order. This advance deposit reflects the company's awareness of the ongoing customs investigation.

The company has expressed its intention to file an appeal before the appropriate authority against the order. Aditya Infotech believes that the levied duty and related penalties are exempted under the Customs Act, 1962, indicating confidence in its original classification and duty treatment of the imported 4G routers.

Operational and Financial Assessment

According to the company's disclosure, apart from the penalty amount, there is no material impact expected on the company's financials. The management has stated that the order will not affect operational activities or other business functions of the company.

The disclosure has been made available on the company's website at www.adityagroup.com , ensuring transparency with stakeholders and regulatory compliance under SEBI guidelines.
