Confiscation of digital equipment follows statutory contraventions, subject to protection for non-responsible possessors and alternative action against contraveners.

Computers, computer systems, storage media, tape drives, and related accessories may be confiscated where connected with a contravention of the Information Technology Act, 2000, or subordinate rules, orders, or regulations. If the adjudicating court finds that the person possessing or controlling the equipment was not responsible for the contravention, it may decline confiscation and make another authorised order against the responsible contravener.
