Paid bribe to officer for khata transfer in Mysuru

Reported on November 26, 2018 from Mysore , Karnataka  ι Report #193379

Name : Yogindra , Date :- 28-06-17, Time: Afternoon, Location :- Mysuru Krishnamurthy puram muncipal ward, Designation :- Revenue Inspector (RI)

Due to my father's demise we had to transfer Khata to my mother's name & went to the concerned jurisdictional muncipal office. We met the & he seeked few documents for getting the Katha transferred. The same was provided & he advised if we pay some bribe along with fees he will get things done quickly. though we were reluctant but agreed thinking of delay in getting things done if we say no to bribe. In total he asked for Rs 10000 & when we mentioned its too high he did not oblige. We paid the amount but after that it was a long ordeal & took almost 6 months to get the Katha transferred. Whenever we would visit or call the officer there would be some or the other excuse. This is clear example of blatantly ignoring other person time & money while doing job at their own peril.
