Forced to pay bribe through agent

Reported on May 20, 2017 from Hyderabad , Telangana  ι Report #163910

I was forced to pay a bribe of 4000 Rs for getting the mortgage deed registered. This was at the sub registrar office Serlingampally at near Kondapur Hyderabad. When I approached the officer for registration, he directed me to go with the agent downstairs. The agent after getting the paperwork done, demanded that I pay 4000 Rs as bribe. When I objected, he said that not paying will result in delayes or the registration will be denief by the registrar citing frivolous reasons. Since my bank had given a hard deadline for registration, i was forced to pay the bribe. I was also told that bribe amount is directly a percent of loan amount ( in my case 40 lakh). I was also told that all employees in the Serilingampally sub registrar office have to share the bribe.
