Is every letter / envelope coming in India from abroad screened?

Question

I am an NRI living with my family in the gulf, one of my family member out of sheer stupidity, enclosed 2 bills of $100 in an envelope and posted it to India by ordinary post ! Of course, the letter was received in India but minus the $200 !!

What happened ?? What shall I do?? I admit sending money this way is illegal !!! But still, I would like to know where my money disappeared ??

Answer 1

Answer 2

In your case, you don't have any recourse open to you - absolutely no! Each and every packet / envelop is subject to screening / checking in all the countries of the world under their respective customs laws and India is no exception. This applies to both Inward and outward packets / envelops sent by government post or private couriers.

You may be interested to know that out of sheer curiosity, some of my acquaintances have done this kind of tricks in the past. And the results have been mixed in India as well as in some of the most advanced countries of the World.

There is every possibility that your $ 200 might have found their way out of the envelop in your own country (in the gulf) and you just came to know that they were missing when the envelop got opened by the addressee in India.
