In my opinion Customised Software other then packaged software or canned software are exempted from Levy of Excise Duty per entry 27 general exemption 6/06.
There is no Custom Duty on Customised Software.
As Customised software are not treated as good it may come under net of Service tax and in my opinion liable to service tax.

Vat and service tax is applicable besides income tax on profit earned. Please see the link.
In the landmark judgment of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. v. Union of India, (2006) 1453 STC 91 — the Hon. Supreme Court held that a goods may be a tangible property or an intangible one, it would become goods, if it satisfies the test. It observed in para 56 that :
This view was adopted in Tata Consultancy Services v. State of Andhra Pradesh, for the purposes of levy of sales tax on computer software. It was held :
"A ‘goods’ may be a tangible property or an intangible one. It would become goods provided it has the attributes thereof having regard to (a) its utility; (b) capable of being bought and sold; and (c) capable of being transmitted, transferred, delivered, stored and possessed. If a software whether customised or non-customised satisfies these attributes, the same would be goods."
This makes it clear that whether the software is a customised one or otherwise, it would be goods.
