Why Paid - I voluntarily applied for property tax evaluation of my house through a agent. The concerned officers did a survey. I have valid permission and plan. They said, there are some deviations and threatened to penalize by naming some GO's and rules. They said, they will evaluate the tax as 33000 per half a year and if i pay a bribe of 75000, will reduce it to 3800. My house is a simple G+1 house and even if i let out, i will not be able to recover the property tax amount if i have to pay 33000 for six months. After negotiations through the agent, they settled for Rs. 25000 bribe. I think more rules are made so that more bribes can be collected.
