IGNORANCE AND EMBEDDED BRIBE CULTURE IN RURAL BACKGROUND

Reported on October 25, 2010 from New Delhi , Delhi  ι Report #30179

I WENT TO TRANSFER THE TITLE OF MY INHERITED FAMILY LAND IN MY NAME AS PER MY GRANDFATHER WISH. the*******Patwari asked for 1200 rupees for an official 30 rupees job. Had to pay as the elders told me it was a norm. similarly the revenue officer TEHSILDAR ASKED FOR 25000 FOR SIGNING THE DOCUMENTS ...apart form payment to his drivers and assistant. Upon asking advice from elders, nobody advised not to pay*******money. despite my verbal refusal , people kept aloof and accused me of delaying the process. finally i caved in after 3 hours and agreed to shell out as my advocate was also refusing to assist in the matter. still more is being asked to complete the process though i refused to play along any more.Since then my work is still incomplete.
