Paid Bribe to avoid octroi tax for releasing motorcycle from Railway luggage
- Railways
- Vehicle Transport Booking
- Paid INR 400
Booked my bike to transfer from my city to Mumbai.
All papers original , all transportation charges paid.
When the train reached Mumbai, the BMC officer scolded for not knowing Marathi,
he was the Octroi Tax officer. Heavily scolded me for not knowing the rules.
He said to pay 3000 rupees octroi tax.
After wasting my half an hour, he himself tell me to just write on paper that -"u have come here for study purpose and will leave this city within 1-2 months" .. By this way you can avoid the tax.
But for this he demanded bribe.
i requested him to keep my documents and i will pay the tax, and release those documents.
I asked if it is a legal way to avoid the octroi tax for 1-2 months, why didnt he tell me before??
And why he has asked for bribe if there is a legal way to avoid for a period of time..??
