Bribe to get Khata Certificate

Reported on November 10, 2011 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #3452

My site was bought when it was under Grama **********. Now it is under BBMP (Bommanhalli/Begur) office and property tax being paid at Kudlu office. To keep the records of my property intact, I requested for a Khata Certificate from BBMP office. Since I had Khata from Gram **********, I was expecting that there should not be much problem. But I came to know that there were several documents were required along with the application signed by me and also with no time limit and visiting the office for several time. However, one of the member could get the certificate to me within one week. No application required, no documents required except the sale deed and property tax receipt. The amount paid was eight thousand (8000/-) and was told that it would be distributed to people associated with it. The Khata certifcate was just a sheet of paper validating my earlier khata from the Gram **********. I wonder why so much complication and bribe involved in this.
