40" Samsung TV

Reported on July 19, 2013 from Hyderabad , Telangana  ι Report #34930

I don't know , I can't import the good value above 25,000. I also don't know how much import duty i should pay.

I bought a TV worth of £462 which costs 34,000 on that day. Customs guy made a calculation and ask me to pay 5000. I said i will pay only 3000 but i don't know that i am paying bribe.

He agreed to pay 3000. After giving me , he asked me to leave and i didn't have dare to ask for receipt.

But i surprised, how easily the people can take bribe within the airport when so many people are passing around. Don't hey have CCTV there.

At the end, i paid almost same as custom duty and it went to someone pocket rather than government. I feel guilty myself.

What is your reaction after reading this report?
