Bribe for opening a new store
One of my friend's brother has opened a new apparel store in Bangalore. We filed for TIN number through CA who charged more than usual fees to pay bribe to the sales tax people. Sales tax Inspector came to visit the store and asked for the documents which we produced. Then at last he asked me to pay 200 to driver, as if I have taken 200 RS loan from the driver. I asked him, if I will not then he started telling that there is problem with the application. The previous store needs to be de-registered from this address and then only this store can be registered. When I confront with him that TIN number is issued to any brand and the there is no significance to TIN number and address on which it is registered. Address can change. But he was not relenting and finally i gave the driver 200 bucks and the sales tax guys went happily saying everything will be done when we provide the other required documnets.
