United Spirits Limited received an undated order from the Deputy Commissioner of Excise, Shimoga District. This order, delivered in person by the Depot Excise Officer at the company's Shivamogga Depot, imposed a compounding/settlement fee of INR 20,000 (Rupees Twenty Thousand only). The fee was levied due to the non-installation of a GPS facility in the transport vehicle.

Despite this, there is no financial or operational impact on the company.
