For building approval (plan without any violation), I had pay bribe

Reported on August 17, 2011 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #4988

We are planning to build a house on Kanakapura Road...We have reasonably large property (50x80) and plan is to build small house and keep lot of space for gardening. Considering the fact that we are not violating any rules, instead of going thru agent, we wanted to get the approval ourself. We made few trips and got harassed. Since, I was not able to go every time, my wife went couple of times to Bommanahalli BBMP office.

Finally, we realized, if we dont pay bribe, this may take few months and 15-20 visits..Really got fed-up..when we opened-up for officer's line (bribe), he virtually became our assistant and he is at my foot to serve (bring all docs to my door-step kind of service). I know officer's name, mobile no etc. and avoiding to be compliant with the rule on this site.

My brother-in-law (sister's family) also planning to build home in the same locality and they are not spared either..Same officer duo.

What is your reaction after reading this report?
