Paid AUD $ 150 as bribe
- Customs, Excise and Service Tax
- Customs Check and Clearance
- Paid INR 8,000
Hi ,
I paid AUD $ 150 which was combined bribe for almost 5 customs officer and one cop. Its bcoz I had one Ipad and one Iphone which was for my personal use. Its took me 3 and half hours to negotiates with 5 different officers.
First one ask me to pay INR 40,000 and my Ipad cost me AUD 840 which is almost equivalent to INR 46200. One of the customs lady was asking me to bribe her with Iphone and she will allow me to go... Initially they ask me to pay AUD $ 500 Bcoz they saw a Australian visa on my passport.
I had connecting flight to another city and I had only 5 hours stop over at Mumbai. It took me 3 hours negotiating with them but yeeh I end up giving them AUD $150... But wait they haven't finished , I was on the way to domestic terminal and suddenly a police inspector came to me and found out that I have no liquor with me ( International passenger can carry 2 bottles of Liquor) that officer gave me some Indian currency and ask me to to duty free shop and buy 2 bottles of Alcohol.
Sorry but Will never go to mumbai again
