Was prepared with all the Lok Ayukta forms
I closed my home loan with ICICI Bank and switched it to Band of Baroda in Jan 2009. During the same, as part of the process I had to get an Encumberence Certificate from the Registrar's office at Wilson Garden.
I made it a point to my family that we will be asked for a bribe and that we should NOT pay up at any cost. I also prepared myself by filling up a few forms from the Lok Ayukta website, which are required to register a complaint with them. I had atleast 2 copies of the forms and filled up everything except the name of the person who I want to report.
Went to the office, asked for the form - and as expected, the assistant of the Registrar starting finding issues with the application, missing NSC and such. I did not heed to anything and just said, everything you need is in place - NOTHING MISSING, I know everything. Finally - after about an hour's waiting - I was called in by the Registrar, a lady. She seemed to be decent, however I wouldn't vouch for her. She tried to tell me that they have targets to ********** for NSC certificate sale - and I just looked back at her asking what has that got to do with my EC? This is just a silly.
Finally - after a little more wait, I got my EC. On the way out I had to see some grumbled faces. :-)
