Hyderabad airport customs Officers corruption
- Customs, Excise and Service Tax
- Customs Check and Clearance
- Paid INR 4,000
I have traveled from USA to Hyderabad , in customs form we have to declare items if its more than 30,000 rs. I haven't bring any new items that much worth, but I have got jewellery which its already been using since 5 yrs. The customs officer demanded for receipts, I said how can we hand the receipts every visit. He calculated some maths and said that I have to pay 33,000 Rs for the jewellery. I argued with him, saying "This is not purchased in USA, its in India only and we are getting back for my sons birthday function". He is not at all listening , he is standing on one word "provide bills". And this jewel is not coins or not biscuit, its an chain form using item. He demanded 5000 rs for with out fine or else 33,000 rs fine. Still I argued with him, then he is saying keep all jewel here and leave the place. Sorry to say this , because of these persons we are loosing interests to come back completely to India. I know one person can't fight on this, we need a revolution. I hope at least it helps for other people after posting it here.
