Paid 5000 rupees to Mumbai customs
- Customs, Excise and Service Tax
- Customs Check and Clearance
- Paid INR 5,000
I was travelling from Singapore to Mumbai, was carrying a music system, a DVD player and a digi cam. The customs asked to pay 10,000 rupees to the govt to clear my stuff. Atleast they agreed a deal for 5000 rupees under the table. I belive Mumbai customs is highly corrupted in the country. Last month one of my friend went to Mumbai from Singapore with a LED TV worth Rs 90,000 in the Indian market. As one of the customs supervisor was his family friend, he did not pay a single penny to clear. By law he has to pay 35% of the amount exceeding 25,000 Rs. There should be some steps by the govt to control this, as the whole team in customs are working as a team. So they all are benefited and the lot of curruption happening there every day. Which is causing huge loss to the country. If there are strong steps, people like me never bother to carry things from oversees.
