My ordeal

• Stamps and Registration
• Registration of Property
• Paid INR 10,000

I reside in Canada and went to India in 2009 to register my property which was alloted to me under the lottery system in the (quota) of Ex serviceman by the Lucknow Developement Authority in ********** Nagar, Lucknow. Lucknow Developement Authority then was headed by the chairmen Mr. ****** ( IAS Officer) and his associates , I believe it was a corrupt lady PCS officer. I met the PCS officer many times seeking the registration documents to be prepared early, but despite my requests, she was stubborn and knowing that i was a Non Resident of India, she and her associate section officer also a women from Uttaranchal ( I think her last name was ***** or **********) advised the clerk to seek bribe. I had to pay the bribe to get the registration from LDA as i did not had suffient time to stay in India. This is despite the fact that I had requested them the emai to expedite as due to my urgent nature of work i had only 7 days in india. Most appaling fact i saw was when I went to Court for registration almost 75% of the people have either paid the bribe or were influential people. Shame on India. Wake up it is not too late specially after the shameful affair of ******** corruption in organising the Commonwealth games. ********** ****** Toronto, *******
