25,000 (USD 340). India has a longer toshakhana history, also of the rules being circumvented. Individual greed, as anywhere, has played its role. Many years ago, a minister who received an expensive gold-plated watch from a Gulf Sheikh, told the legislature when caught that being "busy" he had “forgotten to declare” the gift. While toshakhana rule applies to the President, the Prime Minister, ministers and presiding officers of legislatures in many countries, in India, the net is cast wider to include even middle-level bureaucrats. The Ministry of External Affairs that maintains the toshakhana is thus required to issue a quarterly list. Gifts received at home are also accounted for. Countries/governments from where the gift is received are not mentioned. The government of Pakistan has a toshakhana for gifts from other states or head of states. A Sikh toshakhana is located on the first floor of the Darshani Deorhi, the gateway to the Golden Temple. Bangladesh has a Toshakhana. The records of a 1930s East India Company Toshakhana at Bushire shows that weapons and ammunition were kept in bulk for giving to the Trucial Coast sheikhs.
