Monthly collection

Reported on February 22, 2011 from Mumbai , Maharashtra  ι Report #28356

All wine shop owners & Bar owners in Mumbai have to pay a monthly "amount" to the excise officer who visits their outlet. Even the havaldaar who comes to collect the monthly statement takes a few hundred rupees.
Perhaps the only shops & bars that are exempt are the ones owned by the excise officers & police themselves.
I used to manage a liquor shop & therefore I am saying this. I was also given to understand that the monthly hafta is collected & distributed from the top to the bottom. Almost some sort of *******
