For one of our offering, we wanted to put some flex advertisement boards on the road side. After inquiring, we came to know that we have to take permission from Municipal Corporation. One of the guy went to corporation and figured out the process. What we came to know that we have to take the permission and pay a rent for the same. When we went to take the permission and pay the rent, we realized that the permission is given only for 15 days and has to be renewed every 15 days. The rent was Rs. 2 per sq. ft. To pay the money and to get the process completed took more than 20 minutes and we were the first in the queue. After doing all the process and paying the money, the guy told us that now we have to pay the tax on it. And the tax has to be paid at a different place. Luckily the other department was also nearby. At the tax payment counter, we explained the person and he was behaving as if he does not knows anything. After explaining everything for couple of times than he presented himself as knowing the issue. I was expecting that to calculate the tax, he would ask us the rent that we have paid and based on some %age the tax will be paid. To my surprise, he asked the size of banner. We told him 120 sq. ft. And now he wants the calculation to be in sq. mt. and based on that the tax is calculated. And the funniest was that he was not sure how to do the conversion.
