Dear JoeGoaUk, You spoke about the corruption in the mutation process. A friend in the know mentioned that some of those occupying the sub-registrar's office might have to pay huge monthly kickbacks to politicians who got them in the slot. Which means, nobody can touch them for any wrongdoing too.
Land, in a property heated market with so many expats not present, is a crucial commodity here today, as we know. There is clearly need for more control and transparency over what's going on. Question: any of you have had first hand experiences with corruption in Goa? I know of one former Goanetter, who wrote angry fusilades against politicians here, but when he came to sell a significant bit of land in Porvorim, quickly decided to sell it two a couple of controversial brother politicians, who have a link to real estate. Of course, we'd do anything for "a better price".

Please note: When you buy property from Landlords/ builders etc make sure they don’t belong to ST or SC (Scheduled Tribe or Scheduled Caste) bearing in mind some of our Ministers and MLAs (builders or landlords) belong to this category. Advocate charged us Rs.250 for one page of Rs.20 stamp paper. We then went to Panjim Mamlatdar office to submit the same. He now says, We need to get a report from Talathi. Whose Talathi? Our Agxi Talathi or Landord’s Talathi? He said Landlord’s. He even says submit the affidavit to him.
