- Paid INR 60,000
I have a building in Chennai South with 6 apartments; I paid 50000Rs per apartment for water and electricity connections to be given as bribe apart from the official charges. As we divided and registered the apartments in my children name, we wanted the Chennai Corporation to assess the property tax for individual apartments. (Intiially we paid Rs 40000 per year as the property tax for the entire building). Now each apartment is levied Rs.6800 per year. BUT the corporation guys want Rs.10000 per apartment as bribe to give the documents to us. Already the local AIDMK Councillor demanded and got Rs.2 lakhs as bribe about 6 months ago threatening unnecessary reasons. (The reports last month in the local newspapers that Tamil Nadu Chief Minister warned the local Councillors for being corrupt is an eye wash as all AIDMK top polititicians all get their share.) My friends/relatives convince me not to resist. It is our hardearned blood & sweat money earned in honest way and with big bank loan. These dirty rogues will rot in **********for fleecing honest people like us. May God punish them in the most cruel way for robbing people like us.
