Reported on November 15, 2014 from Mumbai , Maharashtra  ι Report #46844

We were travelling from Vadodara (Guj) to Lonavala for a family reunion. Near Panvel we were stopped by a traffic inspector. He check our papers my license taking very long time reading them. May be trying to find a fault. Once he concluded that the papers were fine he argued that we had black films on the windows (which we didn't). after a good 15min argument with him and proving to him that we do not have films he came up with a weird charge. He said & I quote ' Your car is from Guj & once you enter Maharashtra you have to pay tax to government' When I enquired what tax 7 for what he said 'Maharashtra Tax for driving in maharashtra' I said this is a private car 7 not a taxi and we are not in Mumabi forever we are here only for couple of days, he still persisted that we have to pay the TAX. After arguing with him for over 30 mins he said 'Ok give 200 Rs & go' Just because I was tired of all the bullshit he was saying I paid & left.
