Bribe demanded for Payment of Property Tax also...

Reported on November 10, 2011 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #31445

BBMP, HSR Layout officer demands money for stamping the acknowledgement or providing receipts for the payment of the property tax.

Most of the people end up putting 150-500 Rs. in his pocket even if there are no issues.

I had to fool around him during peak crowded weekend to save the bribe. I observed the pattern on at what stage and how he asks money and how people pays him. Just used one of those incidents saying that I already had 'dropped 200/- Rs. in his pocket' while filling up the form, I can not pay again for the receipt, and then lot of bargaining on both the sides....

Ultimately he gave up on me looking for more 'prospect/ lucrative' bakras....

What is your reaction after reading this report?
