In TamilNadu the officials have started a process of verification of TIN numbers by visiting the place of business. The check list they carry lists various types of asses sees ranging from regular to irregular. The scope for bribe is inbuilt in the check list where the discretion of the officer is needed in classifying a regular filer as " risk observed " and threatening him with further scrutiny. Hence genuine regular dealers want to avoid harassment and pay taxes. the total collection in the state may exceed INR.2000 Crores . ( no. of TIN holders multiplied by the average bribe - Note : The minimum bribe even for compliance is INR 1500/- )
