No bribe for apartment registration
I was asked to pay Rs.30,000/ in cash to get the registration done. This, I was told, would be used to grease the palms of the brokers and lawyers attached to the **********’s office. I was strictly against giving a bribe to get my work done. I categorically refused to give any extra money for which I will not get a receipt.
I went to the **********’s office, with my daughter barging in directly to the **********’s office sans a broker or a male companion. It is very easy to get your apartment registered, and you do not have to part with your hard-earned money either.
This is how I acquired a 1244 sq ft of place in my name, and it did not even take 30 minutes:
I directly contacted the ********** and asked him the procedure to get the property registered.
He asked for the sales deed, encumbrance certificate, tax paid receipts, and the khata. I had the print out of all these docs. This was the 1st step. Getting the papers verified.
The sales deed, and the other forms were signed by me and the seller.
Witness signature was also acquired.
I gave the bank drafts for the registration and stamp duty.
I paid Rs.360/ only towards scanning charges.
No, I did not have to run from one table to another with folded hands. All I had to run for before I went to the government office was to:
· Get the documents in order. Get print-outs and Xerox.
· Get the drafts towards registration and stampduty.
· Call up people to understand the process.
