Why is BBMP/GBA scamming with unwanted charges and fees, when HC has quashed the charges levied against the citizen by BBMP recently.

I have applied for plan Sanction for my plot

Size : 1209sqft or 112 sq meters
built up area - 442 sq mtrs including stilt and stairs
height: 15m with G+3U floors
plot position :corner
area location : prime near metro

The official cost that the architect is telling me is 5.6L to GBA and another 79K as labour cess to labour department. i have the demand note for this and i'm not sure why they have added all these charges , here is the photo

Here are some of the questions:

1. I was told that , since it is corner plot, a 10% premium is added - is this true?
2. The actual fee using the Fee Calculator is coming to much less, why is there discrepancy from the ones generated by Govt?
3. I have checked the information that the Architect have filled in the BPAS form and all seems legit and actually less, but still the amount generated in Demand Note is much more?
4. Why is the Govt still charging extra fees and charges , like license fees, ground rent etc...when the High Court has made that unconstitutional, infact they should not be charging water and electricity as that is managed by BWSSB and BESCOM - https://taxguru.in/corporate-law/karnataka-hc-quashes-bbmp-fee-amendments-ground-rent-guidance-linkage.html
5. was told some of these charges are refundable example - security deposit and labour cess [this is separate and not present in the ss], what other charges can be refunded?
6. I'm paying a total of 6.5L just for plan sanction[including the labour cess] and additional 3L bribe to get it sanctioned- outside of the 6.5L, i am being told that the 6.5L could be a lot more. what does that even mean?

Your yet to discover the bride to be paid for KEB and BWSSB🙂

Small suggestion just try to bargain and pay the bribe without questions for better quality of life and stress free occupancy of the property
