3i infotech Limited has informed stock exchanges about an arbitration order received by its Singapore subsidiary from Vietnam International Arbitration Centre (VIAC) regarding a project dispute with Bao Minh Insurance Corporation. The order, dated April 3, 2026, was received on April 21, 2026, and relates to implementation issues with the PREMIA 11 insurance system.
Dispute Details
The dispute centers around a Software Principal Agreement between 3i Infotech Asia Pacific Pte Limited, Singapore (wholly owned subsidiary) and Bao Minh Insurance Corporation for implementation of the PREMIA 11 insurance system. Bao Minh has alleged non-delivery of the agreed scope and functionalities, leading to project delays and non-performance issues.
Dispute Parameter: Details Contracting Parties: 3i Infotech Asia Pacific Pte Ltd & Bao Minh Insurance Project Type: PREMIA 11 insurance system implementation Arbitration Authority: Vietnam International Arbitration Centre (VIAC) Order Date: April 3, 2026 Receipt Date: April 21, 2026
Financial Impact Assessment
The arbitration order carries significant financial implications for the Singapore subsidiary, while the parent company 3i Infotech Limited reports no direct impact. The potential liability includes multiple components across different currencies.
Liability Component: Amount Contractual Penalty: USD 37,388.20 Advance Payment Refund: USD 333,262.57 Arbitration Fees: VND 301,138,245 Travel & Accommodation Costs: VND 4,858,512
Company's Response Strategy
The Singapore subsidiary is currently evaluating available legal remedies and plans to dispute the arbitration order. The company has highlighted that the order was passed unilaterally without providing an opportunity to be heard. Additionally, 3i Infotech disclosed that although certain business operations were subsequently transferred to Azentio Software Private Limited and some activities subcontracted to Nityo Infotech, the Singapore subsidiary remains the primary contracting party under the agreement.
Legal and Operational Considerations
The company plans to issue a legal notice to Azentio Software Private Limited seeking indemnification of the claim based on the Business Transfer Agreement. This development underscores the complexities involved when business operations are transferred while original contractual obligations remain with the transferring entity. The dispute classification falls under contractual breach, as disclosed in the regulatory filing under Regulation 30 of SEBI listing requirements.
