Bribe Rs. 1500/- to get ST Regn.

Hi all,

To my surprise, I was demanded Rs. 1500/- (By central excise people)  to get RC for ST Registration for one of my clients.  I did not get any fees from the above client, informed him that Service Tax Registration is free.

My sincere request to all Bribe Demanding Govt. Office(r)s

PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO INFORM US IN ADVANCE ABOUT THE AMOUNT THAT WOULD BE INVOLVED IN PROCESSING PAPERS IN YOUR OFFICES.

Bribing or greasing hands of officers in almost all offices has become the order of the day.  There are commission agents in almost every offices.  We may well contact them for advice regarding the fees for free services.
The ST is supposed to be FREE,except for the leeches who now-a-days have become conceited about their demands as well ! The CA Community should make a strong representation with the Ministry to have a Ombudsman for the revenue departments (perhaps advocating correctional consequences like neighborhood China).
Sir,
Do't get annoyed to pay the bribe fee,
While govt is asking and increasing money in various ways and means,
what are the faults of innocent systems of our country in which we are living,
Why we are voting to such persons who are not capable to the chairs they hold,
Why Public do't have any powers to recall,
CAn any one ask and fight for such powers,
Till then pay the bribe, best solution.
In your case if the papers are ok and has been submited properly in the Dept , the dept is duty bound to issue the RC by regd. post.
or u are free to make complain to the vigilence dept or CBEC.

Instead of asking the rates of the bribes, why don't start to curb away this thing...

one by one we can do...

Because if we are bribing then we don't have any right to say anything against it... because we are the ones to perpetrate this!!!!
