All you "me too" guys, just read this! Even with reduced nexus 4 price in US Play Store, it does not make sense to import now.. US Dollar closed near 69 today, So effective card rate for payment will be Rs 70.5+ .. Last i heard, Google was even cancelling orders from US play store with indian credit cards! Nexus 4 16GB cost of US$ 249 is without taxes & US local shipping. Adding both should come to approx $293 = Rs 20,656. Add US to india shipping & customs approx Rs 2,000. Total Rs 22,656. Nexus 4 16GB can be bought with LG official 1 year warranty for Rs 23,240 after using ebay 7% coupons >> http://www.ebay.in/itm/221270670006#ht_5788wt_987 Actual difference of just Rs 584!

PPO Box has sent following e mail regarding what happened earlier & New Guidelines For Import Clearance. Dear PPOBox User, For years we at PPOBox and ICC Worldwide have taken great pride in the speed and quality of service we offer you - we have been providing this service for over 30 years as the first courier serving New York and Mumbai. However, recent changes and occurences have caused us to change some of our procedures and policies so that we can continue to provide you great service at a reasonable cost, without compromise. To set the record straight, below is some information on what has caused these changes and delays, as well as a summary of the guidelines for all shippers henceforth. As an appreciation for your patience through this challenging time, we will be offering a 10% discount on the shipping portion of your bill for all shipments dispatched from August 22 to September 15, 2013. Delays in July In July PPOBox suffered from extreme delays in package shipment. This was due to 100% Customs inspection wherein it was found that several customers had misdeclared the contents of their packages - this includes: Declaring lower than actual value of their shipments Declaring less than the actual quantity of their items Providing wrong descriptions such as "broken mobile" when in fact it was brand new This issue took several weeks to resolve and we had very little information of the status of shipments to convey to you at the time. Because of these few customers, 1000's of packages were delayed as they were examined individually. Since then new procedures have been put in place to identify users that abuse the service and cause problems for sincere customers and service has been resumed in full force. It is however, our earnest request that all customers use the PPOBox carefully read the guidelines on our website and comply with all the policies in place. New Guidelines for Electronics & Mobiles Mobiles and Electronics come under detailed scrutiny in any Customs inspection and are also the most likely subjects of fraud. Therefore the following policies have been put in place to ensure that all customers comply with proper Customs requirements for importation. The maximum allowable value of all goods shipped in a single day for any customer under regular clearance mode (not reseller/CHA) is $1500 TOTAL. This value is based on the market price of your items in India.. PPOBox may not ship more than 2 mobiles or Tablets per person per day PPOBox may not ship more than 1 laptop per person per day You must declare the correct model number, brand, and condition of any electronic item when you create your shipment. You must declare the correct market value of your item. You may not ship items for re-sale without informing us to clear in CHA mode and providing your Import/Export code. You must be registered with us as a reseller before you can ship goods for re-sale. Guidelines for Resellers If you are a reseller looking to purchase goods in the U.S., U.K., or China, and ship them to yourself in India in order to resell locally, you must register with us as a RESELLER, by contacting us at resellers@ppobox.com. As a reseller you may ship any quantity of products and value, BUT you must have the following: You must be a registered Importer with a VALID Import Export code (IEC) to import your goods. If you do not have and IEC code and wish to import goods in bulk, please contact us and we may advise you how to obtain the proper licensing. You must have an appointed CHA (Customs Clearing Agent). We will hand over your shipments to the CHA who will do the clearance and negotiate the rates on your behalf with your consent. If you do not have a CHA we may refer you to a preferred CHA agent. Once cleared, PPOBox will pick-up and deliver your shipments. All reseller, MUST ship through CHA mode only. Not doing so will result in cancellation of your PPOBox service and ALSO serious legal consequences and fines. In many cases you shipments will be seized and PPOBox will not be able to help you in any way. The only exception to this is if you are shipping products directly to your customer, meaning the shipment contains your customer's name and address as the consignee of the shipment (recipient/importer) you may ship through our regular mode and do not require CHA clearance. Customs Duty & Valuation Your regular shipments are cleared in Customs Form V mode where you/your consignee is the importer of the product. In this mode a review of the item and declared value occurs. During this review customs may re-evaluate the value of any items they feel have been under-declared - this majorly for popular electronics and mobiles. In many cases the price stated on your invoice may not be of concern and the product may be valued at the ongoing market price of the product in India this is particularly true for mobiles and tablets from Samsung, Apple, Sony. In any case, PPOBox has no part in this valuation and you will be charged the Actual duty charged by Customs for your shipment. Invoices & Payments Invoices are sent to you AFTER your package has arrived and been processed in our Mumbai facility. Please note this is usually in the late afternoon, so most shipments may only be shipped out by the next day. We will however strive to improve this timeline so that payments can be made and shipments sent out on the same day as arrival. Please note however, unless you are specifically signed up for our warehousing services, we will NOT hold your packages in our facility for more than 15 days total. You must make payment and accept your shipments within 15 days or your packages may be disposed of. In case you have any extreme circumstance you can let us know and we will work with you for the best solution. Insurance Policy We try our best to protect and deliver your packages from damage, loss, or theft. However, sometimes things happen beyond our control, for this reason we offer you the option of purchasing insurance to protect your shipment from theft or damage. Here are a few things to keep in mind regarding insurance: If you wish to insure your package, you must purchase insurance at the time of entering your shipment (before we receive your shipment). Your insurance preferences CANNOT be changed once we have received the package. Your insurance coverage starts only once we physically receive your package in your mailbox. We cannot insure packages that are NOT delivered to us. Therefore when you purchase goods it is always a good idea to use a local service that requires signature at delivery. In case you have an insurance claim to be filed for damage, you must do so at the time of delivery - you must inspect the package for damage and call us right to us right away if something is wrong. If you have any doubts as to the policy, please review the information on our website or contact us. It has been our pleasure serving you the past many years, and you can look forward to our dedication and support in handling your shipments for years to come. For now please enjoy the 10% shipping discount throughout rest of August and September!!

^ ^ ^ I said usually. That does not mean there are no honest business tax payers. There are many but the proportion compared to salaried class is lower. There was one statistics in the post of india having only 3,32,000 individual tax payers declaring taxable income of more than 10 lacs. When we have crores of proprietary business, SME's, isnt' that figure impossible to believe. Business taxpayers collect hundreds of times more tax on behalf of the revenue than a salaried person in terms of excise, sales tax, service tax etc initially but all those indirect taxes are finally passed on to the end user/individual, so the ultimate cost of those taxes is also borne by the individual to a large extent in addition to income tax. One more statistic is india's lower tax to GDP ratio >> http://www.business-standard.com/article/economy-policy/india-s-tax-gdp-ratio-one-of-the-lowest-113032500376_1.html Size of india's black money is estimated at 30% of GDP indicating Rs 28 lakh-crore parallel economy >> http://www.business-standard.com/article/economy-policy/black-money-estimated-at-30-of-gdp-113011300067_1.html Your basic assertion about what honest tax payers get in return is valid but the govt does not want to do the hard work. There was a tragic incident few days back where some Mr Garodia from Mumbai who was the country's highest individual taxpayer in 2009 could not prove he had Rs 25,000 as he failed to get a solvency certificate in a case and as a result was denied bail!

Somebody asked me today, why are you not inspired to be Indian and what have you done for the country to ask such a question?I replied that what I and many other educated Indians like me have done for the country is that we have paid taxes highly unproportional to the facilities that we get in return. We have provided employment and then be exploited and harassed by 100s of govt. departments on a daily basis. We have provided voices of reason only to be ridiculed by the ones in power. And STILL we go about our business on a daily basis contributing to this nation's growth and trying to be better human beings and inculcate the feeling of standing when the national anthem and flag is unfurled in our children. Very little inspires me today but still I am proud to be Indian because that was my destiny. I don't know about educated indians propensity for honesty in tax payments but in india usually only the salaried class pay the taxes fully (Because they have no option). Here is some revealing statistics: Out of 120 Crore plus population of india, as of March 2012, there were only about 3,32,000 individual taxpayers who declared taxable income of more than 10 Lacs across india. In reality only one metro like mumbai will be having more individuals than that figure. XOLO was the brand created by Lava for world's first intel atom processor based handset. Since that wasn't too successful in the market, they are using it now for android handsets also.
