Registration of property

Reported on August 18, 2012 from Mumbai , Maharashtra  ι Report #1056

I live in London and had purchased a property in my wife's name some years back expecting that I would eventually retire to India to escape ********** British winters. Property was empty for many years and it was costing me money so I decided to sell it. My wife travelled to Mumbai and the transaction went smoothly. I was then told that registration process was outstanding. She travelled to Fort area ( ???) with the agent and waited several hours in the hot weather. There were always some problems and she visited the government department repeatedly but in vain. My wife had already booked her flight back to London and so begged the officer to sort out the matter. Eventually, the officer offered to sort this for Rs 15000. The minute this was paid, the matter was resolved.
