I paid a Briber to enter my own country.
- Customs, Excise and Service Tax
- Customs Check and Clearance
- Paid INR 5,000
I was traveling back to home to get married. I was with my fiance, her sister and her sister's 6 months old daughter. We refused the service of "official porter" and he indicated that to one of the customs officer who refused to let us go through green channel.
He saw 9 bags and one full of diapers for little one and knowing that it would be easy to get money from us since we had a little one with us. He started calculating customs on things it didn't apply and when I argued he asked me to open all bags and threatened to keep us there for long. I knew he wanted nothing but money. So I asked him what it will take to get out of here and he shamelessly said $100 for each bag. We told him we don't have that kind of money and finally we settled for $90.00.
This is truly painful.
