Paid a bribe without even being aware of it...
- Stamps and Registration
- Registration of Flat or Apartment
- Paid INR 10,000
Registered an apartment in BLR, July '12. The amount of so-called 'Registration fees' quoted by the promoter was handed over as a D/D by my loan-issuing bank -- to the promoter instead of to the sub-registrar office. After the registration was completed i find that there is a difference of more than 20,000 between what was quoted by the promoter and the 'paid receipts' which i obtained from the ...Nagar registrar office. I realize i have been forced to pay a bribe without even realizing it -- several of them are in cahoots -- the promoter, the govt office, the bank -- all stand to gain from my loss...
Lesson to be learnt for others -- ask for a break-up of the amt demanded as 'Registration fees' to tease out 'true registration fees' from other 'facilitation fees' -- so you at least have a chance of putting up a fight if you want to....
