Didn't pay bribe for name transfer of my property.
Friends,
I would like to share my experience of not paying bribe to local official of municipal. I brought a plot in 2005 and build my home, which gets ready in 2007 and we shifted to it. My home was registered on old owner name in municipal. So i went to office for name transfer application. I fill form properly and attached all required documents with it. When I submit it to officer and ask when will it be done. He said it will take 15 days normally, but it can be in 5 days with Rs. 200 with it. Rs 200 was not a big deal but i prefer not to bribe him. I said 15 days is ok for me. But believe me it took 4+ years for me to get it done. My whole application was lost. thankfully i had copy of application signed by them with date. Finally when i threatened them for RTI, it was done in 3 days.
For sure if you denied to pay bribe, you will suffer more or less. But in the end it gives you joy.
