- Paid INR 8,000
I arrived from Toronto and as I am a trader I need 2 laptops for doing my job . Both were used old laptops. The customs officer argued that only one laptop was allowed and either I can pay the duty which was around 15000 or something could be worked out for 8000. As I have been traveling for almost 24 hrs , I had no energy to argue. Hence I paid 8000. He gave my passport to the policeman with instructions to give back the passport after collecting 8000. The policeman took me to a small room closely collected the 8000 and gave me back my passport.
