Central Excise Superintendent Arrested for a bribe of Rs. 1500

NEWS comes in from a small town Nanded that a Central Excise Superintendent of Nanded Range near Nagpur was arrested for demanding and accepting a bribe of Rs. 1500 for giving a Service Tax registration certificate. Service Tax registration seems to be big business for some officers for its sheer volume. 3000 rupees seem to be the normal rate for a registration. This Superintendent must be getting a salary of about 75000 rupees and he has just ruined his life for 1500 rupees.

Until Tomorrow with more DDT

Have a nice day.
