Bribed to get my office laptop out
- Customs, Excise and Service Tax
- Customs Check and Clearance
- Paid INR 10,000
I forgot to declare my office laptop I carried to a foreign trip. While coming back I didn't have the slip they wanted. And asked me to surrender the laptop. I showed the them company asset label behind the laptop and the proof that I work for the company (I had the company ID). They were not satisfied and they asked me to keep Rs.10000 inside my passport and hand it over to the officer. I did and the policeman on the exit door were instructed not to check me and they let me go with the laptop. This incident happened in ********** ********** International Airport.
The good thing I know now is that we are allowed to carry one laptop during our trips. So this won't happen to anyone anymore hopefully.
