ISGEC Heavy Engineering Ltd has received a penalty order from the Office of the Commissioner of Customs (NS-V), Maharashtra. The customs department has imposed a penalty of Rs. 2,76,66,845 along with a demand for customs duty of the same amount plus applicable interest. The issue stems from an HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) classification dispute where the company assessed goods under HSN B6012000, but customs alleged the goods should be classified under HSN 87049012. The total financial exposure is approximately Rs. 55.33 lakh (penalty + duty demand), though this could increase with interest. The company has stated it will file an appeal under the Customs Act to challenge this order.
The penalty and duty demand represent a financial liability for the company, though the amount is relatively modest compared to ISGEC's scale. The filing of an appeal indicates the company contests the order, and the outcome of the appeal process will determine the final financial impact on the company.
