I travelled from singapore to ahmedabad via mumbai on 29th july , 2011 with a 40 inch samsung LED television. The price of the television was 999 singapore dollar. I understand that amount of tax to be paid while entering in a India with any good above 25000 Rs is 33%. But to my dismay the person at custom clearance asked for 10,000 rs which was way above the actual custom one should pay on asking for details he asked for an amount of 5000 Rs so that I can get the custom clearance. I did not had time nor the patience to ask for any clarification and had paid this amount to get the TV custom cleared.
Its just not me but many Indians who travel from abroad, to India and bring the electronics in country, pay this kind of amount daily on our airports.
