Registrar's bribe

Reported on August 22, 2010 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #30949

This is my second instance. I bought two plots (30X40) in Vidyaranyapura. I bought the plot via a broker and the broker told me that we also have to pay a bribe. He told me that people pay lakhs of money to get to this position and therefore this is the only way to get their money back. He told me that the revenue is the worst dept which is most corrupted. We went to Bytarayanapura Registrar for the registry. There is a small xerox centre next to the building and man comes in Full White dress. He told me that normal plot the rate is 25K and corner plot its 30K and since i am buying both together its 45K and he gave me a discount of 3K. I was buying the property with my dad's retirement amount. We told him that we are poor and please round it off to 40K but he didn't and said if you want to get the registry done u have to pay. At last, with out any other option. We paid him 42K as a bribe. This is serioulsy high time before anything could be done.
