April 19, 2025 at 10:03 amHi All,ยI am trying to understand corruption in the sub-registrar offices for property registration.ย I am told practically 100% of property registrations happen only after bribes are paid (in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, it is possible the situation is better in other states)ย
a. Could you tell me how the bribe reaches the SRO – is it given by the lawyer a day or two before the registration, outside the office?ย
b. Have you seen instances where SRO has rejected a well prepared application for property registration because the bribe was not paid.ย
Context: They say for every 1 person who protests a bribe, there are 99 others who pay unquestioningly – so wouldnโt it be better to let off people who refuse to pay?ย ย
c. What are the flimsy reasons you have seen SROs give for not approving a property registration, because bribe was not paid
Please DM me if you prefer not to comment here.ย
Thank you!ย

April 19, 2025 at 4:50 pmI have property in three different states. Had to pay bribes in all three states. It’s like an open secret and they don’t even try to hide it. Lawyer openly says that property won’t get registered without bribe.
