Bribe for ST-3 return assessment 2year+2year+1year-3 company

• Customs, Excise and Service Tax
• Service Tax Assessment
• Paid INR 10,500

It is a matter of fact that,without paying bribe you can not assess any type of return.Last year we paid his & spouse's simla 3rd Ac train fare.This year one lady inspector of service tax also taken 1500/-bribe.There is no fear,shame for asking favour.Without bribe,they are threatning for show cause of filmy causes.Some were deputed from excise dept.They have no accounting or service tax knowledge.They are treating service tax as excise and applying excise rules.Why govt. are not testing their level of knowledge and updating recent amendments.I am wondering when govt. made filing of st-3 return online cumpulsory,then what about assessment?why asessment mannualy?What is the purpose of manual assesment, when return filling is online.Why there is not any notification of assessment online within stipulated time?
