New connection needed under SAJALA scheme

Reported on October 1, 2012 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #34137

I am representing an apartment in Kundalahalli. Our apartment has 4 floors each with 5 flats, so totally 20 flats. Application with documents has been submitted, inspection has also been done. Demand note awaited

Where are we stuck
The application needs a certified plumber's stamp and sign.

What is the catch
The plumber who puts the stamp is responsible for moving the file upto the Cauvery bhavan. The plumber unofficially charges 13% of the official amount as fees for getting the job done. Without the stamp, the file will not move
Most owners have no clue but to pay the unofficial charges and be done with it.
Need suggestions on how to go ahead
