- Khata Transfer
- Paid INR 2,000
In Karnataka state of India the curruption level is very very high because there is no proper system to prevent curruption. Hence, a majority of the tax paid amount is going to the currupt officials. When I went to the revenue department( BBMP office in Konana Kunte, Bangalore) for getting a property document( Khata Transfer), I felt that the system in the office was so bad that every body in the office wanted bribe to do any work. They openly demand the amount whatever they want. They( The Assistant Revenue Officer and Revenue Inspector) publicly told me that if I did not pay bribe, the work would not be done. The official fee for Khata Transfer of my housing plot (size: 30 feet x 40 feet) was INR(Indian Rupees) 1210 and the bribe demanded was INR 5000. When I wanted to complain about the bribe, there was no information in the office how to complain. When I checked in the internet about the vigilance procedure of karnataka, the vigilance procedure( Lokayukta) is more expensive and cumbursome than giving the bribe and get the work done.The revenue rules in Karnataka are very complicated and we cannot get anything done without bribe.
