Contravention of Section 68C(1) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 results in:

Section 68C(2) NDPS Act provides that property held in contravention of sub-section (1) "shall be liable to be forfeited to the Central Government" in accordance with Chapter VA. The forfeiture is to the Central Government, not the State, and it is made by the competent authority under section 68-I rather than by the Special Court; a fine in lieu applies only in the case covered by section 68K.
