Title: What will happen if I ignore the penalty imposed by Kolkata Customs?
Post by: abhi#01 on June 18, 2021, 08:19:34 PM
I have been imposed a penalty of ₹5000 by Kolkata Customs for importing drone . I am just 15 years old! So it is huge amount for me and I don't have that amount of money to pay. So what will happen if I don't pay the penalty and ignore it?

Please please anyone answer me because I haven't any idea about this!!🙏

To suggest a better response

1. Post full details of the Drone you attempted to import
2. A copy or full text of the letter received from Customs

I have attached the order I received and also a letter that I had sent to the commissioner of Customs Appeals!! And the drone was a nano drone and actually it was a toy!
Now what should I do?
Please guide me!

What is the date of the Customs Order? Your prayer/appeal is professionally drafted. There is an option to appeal to the commissioner too

Better request them to forgive the charges and if not agreed then pay them full amount and get rid yourself from this matter.

If you don't pay it now then later another officer will come through transfer and he will re-open the old unsettle case and you will get another letter but with increased amount which could reach upto 5 Lacs rupees.

Consider yourself lucky that you got just 5K penalty maybe b'cos you imported a toy drone but the amount could reach upto 5 Lacs depending on the size of drone.

You can appeal before the Tribunal by sending a letter
