- Paid INR 1,000
Had to get my newly formed company registered for VAT. At the end of a couple of week's process and many too and fro visits to the local commercial tax office, including a site visit by a tax officer, i was asked 2000 rupees to cover the bribes to the big and small of this office, all who had pushed my file up the **********! My counter offer of 1000 rupees was gratefully accepted. On a moral note, i dint feel too outraged at paying the bribe, actually pitying the poorly paid officials, in their scruffy office.. how else will they survive!
