If I paid the amounts they wanted ~ 10,00,000 (10 lakh or 1 million) Rupees each, it would be done in 7-8 months.

And I assume the agent's cut is on top of that?

Thanks for laying all of this out. Hopefully some politicians will take notice.

It sounds like it's basically impossible to run a business without paying bribes. I imagine even if you got through the NA certificate process, they would come around later for "inspections."

I'm confused by why you wouldn't just pay. If I'm not misunderstanding google, we're talking $60 USD. Which is a pittance.

1,000,000 rupees comes out to $13k according to google. Since you need to bribe multiple entities (I'm guessing all the ones listed in the article) that probably comes out to $150+k total.

Sorry I misquoted.

It would require a total of ~15,000$ USD
