Chennai:
Nokia offices in Gurgaon and Chennai were
raided by Directorate of Revenue Intelligence on Wednesday following a complaint
that Nokia has not paid custom and central excise duty properly while importing
goods.
The raid was confirmed by Nokia. In a
statement Nokia said that the DRI officials visited its facilities.
“Nokia extended its full cooperation to the
authorities, duly responding to all queries raised and extending its full
support to help them during their visit,” a Nokia statement said.
DRI sources said that Nokia imported
software for which it did not file proper bills of entry for a year. It is a
serious lapse and authorities are assessing the revenue implications of it.
