the registration is Rs.50/-, maybe translation costs a few hundreds - the 
remaining 9K odd is under the table, with probably the lawyer taking the 
lion's share. Most good lawyers and chartered accountants in Bangalore refuse 
to deal with govt officials. They draft the thing, prepare everything and ask 
you you to hire a tout to get things done. Yes, even in Chennai or Ooty you 
may have to shell out some 'speed money' - but not on this scale. I'm just 
checking the rates in Ooty - if ok it can be done hassle free.
