You did the right thing. There is absolutely no need to pay a bribe for registering a property, particularly if you have paid the tax in accordance with the guidance value. Its your right to have the sale deed registered. Please go to the registration departments website, at
http://www.karigr.org/citizen/default.htm
Here you can download the citizens charter of the registration department. Under this Charter, the sub registrar has committed to complete your transaction? 2 hours 20 minutes! 20 minutes to verify the market value of property, 1 hour for Preliminary scrutiny of documents, enclosures and issue of Form No.1A. and one hour for admission of documents, recording signatures etc.
At the end of the day, the registrars office was bluffing you. They have no discretion to refuse to undertake a registration, if your papers are in order. According to their own citizens charter, they have committed to finish your transaction within a short time. If they demanded a bribe from you, it is because the sub registrar believed that they could fool you, for some more time at least.
I suggest that you also complain to the Lokayukta, with full details including the name of the official concerned.
