Hope the Money transfer you have mentioned is from your genuine friend and not the now common money transfer racket taking place everywhere. If you receive the Money through legal channels and through legal sources you would not have any problem. Otherwise you may end up being questioned by the Authorities for the offence of Money Laundering.

For further clarification you may Mail to [email protected] or call to 0502104389.
