I was aghast to find out that tax returns on TDS certificates incurs an unofficial bribe of 10% payable to the clergy who clear the payments. My Tax Returns have been taken a year and a half to be cleared, I had to pursue it actively to ensure that I receive my rightful returns. But when it has finally cleared I had to pay 10% of the amount due to the officials, or else they threaten to further delay the process. This is apparently how it works. This is blatant blackmail, at a mass level, and involves crores of tax payers money. If the government cannot ensure transparent processes, how does it have the right to take our money in the first place?
