Reward Scheme for Informers

Under the existing Reward Scheme, Government of India grants handsome rewards to informers who provide specific information leading to seizure of goods, currency, bullion or leads to detection of duty evasion including wrong declaration of quantity, description, value etc. The maximum amount of reward to the informers can be as high as 20% of the value of confiscated goods and penalty realised. The maximum reward in respect of gold is Rs.50,000/- per Kg., for silver it is Rs. 1,000/- per Kg., for Opium it is Rs. 220/- per Kg., for Heroin it is Rs. 20,000/- per Kg., for Cocaine it is Rs. 40,000/- per Kg. and for Hashish it is Rs. 400/- per Kg. If the information leads to detection of duty evasion, maximum reward of 20% of the duty evaded plus 20% of the fine/penalty realised can be given as reward to the informers.

In case you have any specific information to give you can report by filing in the form in on the site. Your name and identity will be kept absolutely confidential. It may be noted that patently false information leading to harassment to the genuine importers would be taken adversely and the complainant may be liable to further action. We ensure that there would be no compromise on the identity of the informer.

There is also a provision of sanction of advance reward in suitable cases.
