@IndiaMART do you have anyone beyond your customer support executivs who can help users with accounts created without their consent?
I spoke with your suppoet executive and their only answer is that Indimart does not remove user information.
@IndiaMARTCares why you have not publised Grievance Officer details as required by DPDP Act? Please no DM. Share the Grievance Officer contact here, whom I can email my concerns.

@libertypartyind what is your plan for fighting with corruption?
how can we be sure that it will not end up like @AamAadmiParty ?
we had big hopes and conceived many people to vote for them, a very bid mistake and disappointment.
how do you plan yo establish that trust?
@MBVVPOLICE@MBVVPOLICE no FIR till date, no action even after your message. Case similar to:
https://t.co/NzGJ9ZWxAx
exact same method used by staff, but the police has not registered FIR.
I have my ongoing story at @MBVVPOLICE naigaon station. I had reported a credit card fraud done by one of our staff almost 1 month back. our manager and I had made multiple visits to the police station since then. I am yet to get a copy of FIR.
@amazonIN has come down to looting customer's money. Left, Right, Center.
Earlier they used to deliver products, now they have started many shady practices.
I wonder if it still makes sense to trust them for purchase of costlier items.
An example of how simplifying a system can end corruption:
Why does a cop need to physically visit your house for passport verification? Your criminal record, if any, isn’t stored at home. During these visits, cops almost always ask for money. You don’t want to pay, but you fear they might put a negative remark and block your process, so many end up giving in.
Some argue that a visit is needed to confirm your address. That’s just an excuse. Everywhere else, banks, schools, government offices, your address is accepted through Aadhaar, ration card, electricity bill, or other official documents.
So why not end discretion and simplify the system? Let applicants upload all relevant documents online, and let the police verify them digitally. The process should be time-bound, for example, if a verification isn’t completed in 7 days, the file automatically escalates to a higher authority, and the police must explain the delay.
Every step should be recorded, traceable, and transparent, with online tracking for applicants. Make it cashless and fully digital. This small change would remove discretion, prevent bribes, and make the system faster, fairer, and corruption-free.
But, will they do it?
Dismiss the Chief Commissioner Chennai Customs.@nsitharamanoffc it will send right message. ART 311(2) be invoked & dismissal can be done. If he is corrupt then he deserves. If he is not then he is incompetent to allow corruption under his oversight so he deserves
Is Indian customs broken? Here’s my recent ordeal 👇
I shipped 60 printed, signed legal A4 docs from Chicago to New Delhi via FedEx.
Shipping: ~$50.
Customs bill on arrival: ₹4,200 + GST for paperwork with zero commercial value.
Ultimatum: pay in 24 hours or they’ll destroy it. No appeal. Calls/emails ignored.
The documents were urgent, so my dad paid just to get them released. It felt like an “official bribe.”
If this is how essential documents are treated, how are regular people or small businesses supposed to manage?
Has this happened to you? Any legit way to declare/avoid duties on non‑commercial paperwork or appeal these charges? Any insider insights?
Bribery has taken another route today at Chennai Customs - Airport Shed Officer Mr Tirupathi Rao has blocked release of another importer's shipment filed by our CHA Eshwa Global for settlement of bribe for previous imports done by us
@ChennaiCustoms Officer Yuvaraj working @ Sea Customs threatened and collected 3+ lakhs for SiiB officers last month paid to his friend Raj bank account
In 2017, I bought a beautiful white fur jacket in Australia to wear in Europe in Dec. I paid a little less than AU $200 (INR 10k). Before flying back, I left the jacket in my friend's basement with the intention of coming back to visit again (which never happened. In 2023, his parents couriered the jacket back to me since they knew how fond I was of it. I got a call from @cbic_india saying I would need to pay 7k INR for them to release the shipment. I explained how it's a 6 years old used jacket, already paid for, not a gift, it's a personal belonging. I even shared my receipts as proof. They said if I didn't pay, they would burn my jacket. And they did. (Or maybe some asshole from the customs dept gave it to his wife or kid and someone's walking around wearing it).
The only reason we’re stuck with an irresponsible ruling party is because our opposition is even more pathetic and inefficient. What a perfect circus called Indian politics!
If I could pick two areas for the @narendramodi govt to prioritise against corruption, it would be:
1) Customs – a direct brake on India’s growth.
2) Land deals – a state subject, but the fountainhead of black money & unaffordable prices.
Simplification in system and laws is better than endless new laws.
Some of my old orders of ultra low value products (around usd 1) from AliExpress (before it was banned), were shipped by the seller but never arrived in India. It was free shipping, I don't know who kept those: #customs or the post office. #CORRUPTION
Had ordered small industrial equipment, had to pay 11k to release the shipment with a value of 140 USD 🤡.
The manufacturer themselves stopped direct shipping to India due to these paisa vasool policies by customs. Companies have to write this off as business expense 🤦♂️
