Bribe paid for IT refund
- Income Tax
- IT scrutiny
- Paid INR 5,000
My income tax refund of aroudn Rs 80,000 was not processed. I am a Chartered Accountant and i approached the department thru my CA. I was told to pay a bribe of Rs 5000 for the refund.
I did not want to pay the same so i prepared an RTI application asking the time frame within which refunds should be given, names of the officers who looked at my IT return and the reasons for delay.
To my shock i received a 30 word reply to my application, which evaded all my questions.Now i do not know if any other alternative exists, i understand that i can appeal the poor information quality of information which was provided. But i think i am left with little choice than givinig the bribe.
SHAME... this is what we get working in this country.
