Reply to show cause notice 

1. File your statement /affidavit with the Authority, declaring that said toy was purchased for personal experimental usage and not for any commercial usage /transaction and that you are ready to pay the penalty for the same and that you undertake not to repeat the inadvertent error again.  Request that this matter be closed since it is not a grave offence.

But do give an explanation of why you imported the toy which is prohibited for purchase in India.

So take plea of ignorance of this and show willingness to pay the fine in full to avoid further complications. 

Just reply them through registered post that you was unaware of any such prohibition. And the act is committed in ignorance in ignorance of customs act. Sooner it came to your knowledge, you cancelled the delivery but before that product was delivered. And request for amnesty being bonafide mistake.

Maximum 5k penalty will impose. No personal attendance require.

Do not keep quite, if the authority passes ex-parte order, it will be difficult for you.

You can claim that you are not aware about the seriousness of the same and also share the details of gifting same.

You may request the authority, to take a lenient view on the same and pardon you for the said issue.

- However, Section 292 of the IPC prevents the sale of any material or product that is ‘obscene’ in nature in India. But, no statement has been mentioned regarding the ‘Ban on Sex Toys in India

- Further, keeping sex toys at home for personal use , is not an offence unless the individual is private about its usage and functioning. Every individual has his/her private life and hence, they have the full right to do whatever they want to under those boundations.

- Further, the Kolkata High Court addressed the issue whether sex toys purchase/imports /sell in India comes under the charges of “obscenity”. The Court held that the charges on obscenity cannot be held as they were not legally sustainable. Just because the toy brings out sexual desires, it cannot be labeled as ‘obscene’.

Dear Sir,

You need to immediately hire a drafting lawyer and get a reply drafted on the following points. - that you had no idea that import of sex toys was prohibited in India - that you do not have any objection to sex toy being confiscated by customs - that you do not want any personal hearing on this matter - that you purchased the toy only for personal use.

You should be present at the place where you been called to and present your case. Engage a lawyer who may write an apology letter. 

He may ask you if you are into commercial buying and selling the toys. He may ask othwr questions too.

You should go there along with an advocate who will help you as he understands the situation.
