Thank you for your frank comments. First of all, let me clarify that we do not use our website to make money. We do not run advertisements. We do not get anything from Google. The cost of running the website is entirely borne by our Mother NGO, Janaagraha, which works for improving the quality of infrastructure, services and citizenship.



Yes, I do agree that many citizens collude to evade stamp duty, In fact, we have constantly advised citizens to pay the entire sale amount in white and avoid any temptation to evade duty. However, collusion takes many forms, In many cases, because citizens are so ill informed, they are misguided by middlemen, including lawyers and builders agents. It is not as if all lawyers are in the wrong, but somehow, the good ones do not want to take upon themselves to launch a crusade against the corrupt amongst them. This tragedy, that honest people often shield their corrupt colleagues, is a sad fact of life.



I am all for payment of taxes without evasion. Yes, if we do not pay our taxes, then we have no right to seek good governance from our government.



I totally agree with you; a scourge bigger than corruption is the glaring inequality between the rich and the poor in our country. It poses a greater danger to all of us, as equal a threat as corruption.

What is your reaction after reading this report?

Hi, I appreciate ur initiative.Iam a lawyer. I would like to know that are u using no. of hits generated on this web for spinning money in collabaration with google ads etc.? As I frequently visit regn. offices, I have knowledge of regn. process. The so called snow white quality people who report about bribe here are actually in many instances colluding with corrupt officials to evade stamp duty by undervaluing property by 20% to 70%. They dont pay the stamp duty on their property purchase value , rather they pay on the govt. guidance value which is very low. If the buy property for 40lakhs, they show the value as 25 lakhs and ther by cheat the govt. of Rs 1 lakh stamp duty. Its really white collar crime the so called techies. The govt has spent on thier Engineering education by refund of fees for economically weaker sections. Even govt has spent on thier healthcare facilities, lower and higher education etc. The govt has given so many concessions to IT industry like free land, tax holiday etc. Even then those high salaried people are eevading stamp duty, income tax etc. Its high time for those ultra clean dudes to introspect and proper taxes as many economically weaker people can not afford for 2 square meals a day. I strongly think that those who are earning more than 2 lakhs per annum are indirectly using the resourses of poor people as those poor dont have knack of earning money as they are illiterate and ignorant of ther rights. I feel that this great inequality in distribution of wealth will lead to revolution. The urban rich, salaried class, merchants, industrialists should engage themselves in philanthropic work lest revolution is imminent in near future
