Did not pay bribe to register a property in electronic city
Hi,
I have so far not paid a bribe for any service except to register a property where the lawyer himself said if you dont they they wont register. And to my shock the bribe givng and taking was kind of done quite openly. Also the cash amounts settled there after registration. Wonder why there is hardly any raid or arrests there goes to show the kind of nexus and how ********** it is.
When registering another property I went with a friend and we both decided not to pay a bribe. It helped that he knew kannada and the lawyer was a known friend. Even though the registrar demanded the bribe we said we cant pay based on our principal. If the papers are clear what is the issue. There were several questions asked on the papers, property etc but finally we were able to register the same day though it took several hours. The staff while expecting a bribe actually did not put any hindrance to the work and stayed late to complete the registration.
What probably went in our favor is that in the same complex other properties had been registered so it was difficult to deny this and pass others. Not sure if it was an individual property how it would have been. But it was good to see that if you take the stand to not pay a bribe the work still gets done without too much trouble.
So please take the initiative to say no to bribe only then we will have a corruption free India.
