INCOME TAX REFUND

INCOME TAX REFUND

Last week a salaried friend of mine got a phone from IT Dept that his refund of Rs.15000/- was ready and come to dept. When he went there, clerk asked him to pay Rs.750/- [fixed rate for refunds upto Rs.25000/-!!!]. He refused and refund order was not given. He contacted me and I emailed him RTI application and requested him to go to CPIO. When he visited, CPIO called the clerk and tax assistant and informed of RTI application being filed. They after 10-15 minutes delivered the refund order to my friend without bribe.
