I applied for Renewal of Trade License on 30/4/2013 by taking a DD for Rs. 3000/- as Renewal License fee in BBMP favour. It was tough time to trace the BBMP Office as it had shifted and there was no notification of the same.
When i went to the concerned BBMP office at Austin Town, Bangalore, the officer incharge of Birth and Death (as the concerned Health Inspector was not there at that time) asked me to pay Bribe to the cashier to remit the License Fee. I paid 50/- rs. to the cashier and had to wait for 35 minutes to get the receipt.
Later i had to followup with the Health Inspector for almost 45 days and today i got the renewal, which is just an entry in the original certificate with seal. Today the Health Inspector demanded 1500/- rs. but finally i negotiated for 500/- rs. and got it done.
One surprising fact is there is no information about Vigilance cell contact details in the BBMP Website nor in the local Austin Town Office.
An end has to be put for all this.....
