Corruption - Registration and khata issues
Dear Swarna,I do not think it is a question of low salaries. People working
inprivate organisations are also paid low salaries. They are not corrupt.
Thesegovt. people in addition to "low salaries" also get other benefits like
pension,gratuity, leave encashment, "extra" holidays, etc, which the people in
privatedo not enjoy.I think corruption is due to the attitude of the superiors,
lack ofknowledge on the part of the public and poor grievance redressal system.
If anyof these 3 are available, then there would be less corruption.Out of these
3 wecan control 2 i.e. knowledge and grievance redressal. Only if we take some
timeknow things can be done legally. Knowledge can be obtained from various
sourcessuch as the web, consumer welfare organisations, etc. We should also know
whereto pour out our problems. You can approach PRO of that dept., State
VigilanceBureau, CBI, RTI. There is also a public grievance website that is run
by thecentral govt.[I do not remember the name].I think that we are in a hurry
to get things done.In order to achieve it, we are prepared to pay extra money.
Many things can beachieved legally. But you should have patience.ThanksSankarÂ

sw_lathaDate: Mon Dec 22, 2008 8:57 pm ((PST))Hi,I am Swarna, aresident of
bangalore. I guess this is right place tovoice my opinion. I feel it quite
disgusting ..I mean the corruptionlevel of openness!Registration of
property(bangalore outskirts-taluk level) varies from5k-10k flat(as per my
experience) and for a khata transfer whichactiually involves a tariff less than
500/-, incurs a minimum of 3kto 10k cost for getting the task done.The
government pays so meagre salaries to these officials that theyend up in
demanding additional costs(which is pathetic...grosse..) Itis a well known issue
and all of us just comply with it.Alternative would be to face the wrath of the
so called govt. peoplein ur own area or spend for lawyers which wud definitely
cost morethan these petty(wonder of 10k is petty amount??) bribe amounts.Is
there a way to fight such issues out?Regards,Swarna.[Non-text portions of this
