Rs. 500 to get No Entry Tax Due Certificate
- Railways
- Transport of Goods
- Paid INR 500
I got my bike transferred from Gujarat to Maharashtra, as the bike was less than 30 months old, and the VAT for the same was paid in Gujarat. The entry tax of 9% (Around 4000) did not apply to my vehicle, hence I needed to get a No Entry tax due certificate from Sales tax office. However, the person issuing the certificate over there wanted to earn out of this and so considering me as a novice in paper work he built up a story of his own explaining to me that I would have to pay around 1000 bucks as fees, instead i can get it done for free if I pay 500 to him.
I thought if i resist and agree to pay the 1000 asking for a receipt (which he would not be able to come up with) then he will delay my certificate or would cause some other inconvenience and hence I Paid Bribe
