Pune, Dehu Road Check post
- Commercial Tax, Sales Tax, VAT
- Entry Tax
- Paid INR 500
I was carrying my 1 year old daughters tricycle from a city to Pune via a private tourist bus. On entering Pune, At Dehu road check post at 7 AM, few persons stopped the bus and raised the issue to pay tax for the tricycle. The tricycle was brought by my parents some time back and it was kept in like new condition. The bus driver asked me to go and talk to offical. I went to offical person and he asked to pay Rs 1100/- to get a challan. I said the tricycle cost of not that much. Instead of giving me the challan according to the current value of tricycle he asked to Pay Rs 1100/- which I said why then he said asked the bus driver to leave the bus here. The actual challan price is Rs 100/-. I asked to sort out the issue faster as whole bus was waiting due to me, and he asked to pay Rs 500/-. I saw one another truck driver also paid Rs 500/- in front of me and this guy let him go without checking his truck. Actually I have a doubt whether this was a real govt official as he was sitting on a bike with few people that doesn't look like govt workers and far away from the check post. I think the original govt official who works just come to collect his share. God help India!!
