Bribe we were forced to pay Mumbai Muncipal for construction permits - 17 lakhs
- Urban Development Authorities
- Construction Permit
- Paid INR 17,00,000
We are small-time property developers. An officer in the muncipalty asked us to pay Rs 25,00,000 bribe to give us approval (after having all other permits and paper work filed correctly). He told us clearly, if you don't pay, you won't get your permits till 3 years. We had no choice but to negotiate and finally paid Rs 17,00,000.
The bribes in the development/construction sector is rampant and runs into crores of rupees for big projects.
