In Bangalore you cannot get it done at a cheaper rate unless we have a
lawyer who'll be willing to waive off their fees. I spoke with my personal
lawyer and he said he doesn't do such jobs, but explained that the leg work
needed to get things done without paying bribes is huge, and may involve
someone forced to run around four to five times due to red tapism, which is
effort at the lawyer's side and he'll charge for it. Otherwise if the lawyer
needs to get it done fast, he needs to bribe.



Either way the point is  its going to cost us money and this'll be to the
tune of Rs 10-15 K in Bangalore

I had suggested in an earlier mail in this thread, checking whether this can
be done at any other city or town, where the legal fees and running around
costs are lower.

I think it's a good idea to do the exercise off  Ooty, since Kenneth is down
there.  I'd imagine that the costs whether legal fees or other charges will
be less than 5000.

My lawyer tells me, as long as there's consensus among key community guys,
it really doesn't matter where it's registered, any Indian can become a
member and also key functionary.

With all due respect to everyone here, we also need to set a deadline to
these things. If we are not finding a reliable alternative out of Ooty by
say Nov 27th or December 1st , we'll need to fall up on the first option in
Bangalore.
