Reported on December 27, 2013 from Chennai , Tamil Nadu  ι Report #38736

Import of certain chemicals requires a NOC from the Asst. Drugs Controller at the port of import. Mr. Kumar, ADC at Chennai Port is now demanding a sum of Rs. 5000 as a bribe for every NOC document.
As customs will not permit import without the NOC and importers will need to pay large sums for demurrage of containers, there is pressure to comply with the demand of a bribe
