Misbranded cigarette smuggling into India causes annual revenue loss of ₹21k cr
The New Indian Express Thiruvananthapuram
|January 08, 2025
SMUGGLING of misbranded cigarettes from south-east Asian countries into India causes an annual tax revenue loss of ₹21,000 crore, apart from helping finance terrorism, India's biggest cigarette manufacturer has cautioned in a letter to the Union finance ministry, sources said.
The letter written by ITC Ltd, forwarded to all Customs and Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) formations last month, flags widespread smuggling of counterfeit cigarettes via air, sea and land routes, as well as speed post from foreign countries, mainly south-east Asia and Middle East, to India.
Apart from tax losses and funding organised crime rackets, this affects tobacco farmers as cigarettes are manufactured abroad, the letter stated.

Living boundaries for your outdoor garden
WALLS can mark a boundary, but hedges bring a boundary to life. Think about it — a neat line of plants running along the edge of a bungalow garden doesn't just separate \"inside\" from \"outside,\" it frames the entire home like a picture. Hedges are one of the oldest and most reliable tools in landscaping: they provide privacy, reduce noise and dust, and simultaneously soften the hard lines of walls and gates.
