@PrawinGaneshan who pays bribe digitally, from a company account to a company account? just a comment saying 'bribe' doesn't make it a bribe if you paid this digitally, which you seem to have, they should provide you with an invoice for services rendered.. show that invoice..

@sardamit We are not in chennai,to hand by cash, All our money is accounted,all chats with officers name who demanded bribe, Our staff was with the CHA during the talks and negotiations,let the officer refuse getting bribe to release shipment

@PrawinGaneshan Is this officer involved?

@Riskengineer1 Yes,he is the person

@PrawinGaneshan Pls take immediate action on this @ChennaiCustoms Many foreign company are moving away from India because of corruption in customs. This is causing a lot of damage to reputation of India around the world. Cc @narendramodi @PiyushGoyal

@PrawinGaneshan Chennai customs harassed me for my own household cargo which I brought back after 18 years abroad. For not a single legal reason they slapped a claim of ₹80K, thinking I’ll negotiate for a lower amount and pay bribe. I paid 80K officially. They were terribly disappointed.

@PrawinGaneshan Customs probably is one of the most corrupt dept. They just seek a minor issue in the consignment and when I say minor they just even stop the release of the consignment just because a minor mismatch in technical writeup and content mentioned on box. Though I agree with custom

@PrawinGaneshan @PiyushGoyal @ChennaiCustoms @FinMinIndia please respond. India is losing its reputation because of such incidents

@PrawinGaneshan Salutes to you young man for your bravery and uprightness! The system is rotten and you have exposed it. We all know that they will whitewash it and will harass you more and try character assassination also. I don't have much hope that this country's systems can be corrected,

@PrawinGaneshan Indian customs is a piece of shit. I have my consignment stopped by @bangalorecustom since last year with no resolution. It's crazy that we pay these babus salaries and they in turn bite our asses back. I pray you guys rot in hell.

@PrawinGaneshan This even raises more doubts, hardly officers do chats (they know the law) if the officer received bribe at Mumbai, why you doing allegations on Chennai customs officer Who receives bribe in cash, If you think the transaction to whom you have paid is "bribe" then file a

@PrawinGaneshan Indian bureaucrats are the most corrupt coupled with the political class makes it a deadly combination. No matter how much the PM @narendramodi talks abt removing corruption the situation on ground is the same in most govt offices u cant get your work done without paying

@PrawinGaneshan I worry for your safety bro. Babus will level any charges and put u in jail for speaking truth. Imagine, powerful like sonam wangchuk is in jail, you are nothing. Be safe.

@PrawinGaneshan I believe your clearing agent has defrauded you. It is a common malpractice for some agents to deliberately file incorrect documents in order to extract additional payments from the consignee. I recommend that you file a police complaint to address this matter.

@PrawinGaneshan @nsitharaman please look into this. It falls under your dept

@PrawinGaneshan Indian customs is by far the most corrupt department in india. They literally have rate chart for imported liquor available in every bar in india…. Like seriously each and everyone knows about it…

@PrawinGaneshan People blame politicians for bribes: scams . But truth is system and people involved in it are normal people in your neighbourhood, relatives, friends doing this. This is why in spite of any party in power bribing keeps on.if every one is asking where the money coming from …

@PrawinGaneshan It's an everyday story. Earlier, people bribed at one port, but with the faceless option, importers pay bribes at two places.

@PrawinGaneshan You should shout once Bharat Mata ki Jai … thrice Godi Godi … they would have given you another 40% discount. 😂😂

@PrawinGaneshan How do you know the freight forwarder isn't taking you for a ride ?

@PrawinGaneshan We know what happens. Nothing! This kind of corruption only happens when there is an infrastructure built to support it and is incubated from the top. So that complaints are buried and so are the complainants

@PrawinGaneshan pro babudom at work, no wonder why business suffer across india. 10% discount is ultimate mockery of system

@PrawinGaneshan @bricscouncil_in @POTUS @PDChina @USIBC @JapanGov @CR_JICAIndia @FEBI_India plz do take note of so much ease of doing buisness in india that you have 2 grease palm of govt officers openly. Suggest 2 review your invstmnt proposal @PMOIndia @narendramodi @FinMinIndia @cbic_india

@PrawinGaneshan I heard this same case before from a friend who exports from India. This is unacceptable. Create an online transparent tracking system for this. CC: @narendramodi, @PiyushGoyal

@PrawinGaneshan @PiyushGoyal Belt treatment to @ChennaiCustoms corrupted babus should be fired immediately and send them to Kaala Paani

@PrawinGaneshan Problem is part of this goes to Politicians. Think about the bribe these officers pay for getting transferred to money milking ports. All are interconnected and we can call it a PURE CIRCLE.

@PrawinGaneshan @PiyushGoyal @narendramodi please look into it sir we can’t miss the manufacturing bus this time

@PrawinGaneshan @cbic_india @nsitharaman You need to step in. This is unacceptable and needs to be fixed for once and for all. Let's think India first and clean the system.

@PrawinGaneshan You should definitely file a complaint with CBI

@PrawinGaneshan I recall the scene of the Kesari 2 movie after reading such a long tedious explanation by @ChennaiCustoms. "That's the beauty of the law, someone is always breaking it."

@PrawinGaneshan @ChennaiCustoms @AshwiniVaishnaw @PiyushGoyal @nsitharaman the proofs are crystal clear, what's stopping you from taking action?

@PrawinGaneshan Was the shipment fully accounted for? Or did it contain anything not declared in the Bill of Entry?

@PrawinGaneshan Buy a property, you know how much bribe you gotta pay and its everywhere but still we turn a blind eye and act like its normal

@PrawinGaneshan @PMOIndia @AshwiniVaishnaw @PiyushGoyal - sir how will we grow Exports from India if this is the behaviour or officers . Pls do not protect these corrupt officers. Name them , shame them , publically arrest them and charge them with the strictest laws .Make an example out of them
