District judge Vilas V Bambarde last week convicted Nivrutti Lokhande (75).
Apart from the prison sentence, the court also imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 on Lokhande, who served at the IT Department's Vashi office.
The judge said he was awarding the minimum possible sentence under the Prevention of Corruption Act, considering the accused's age and the prolonged period of trial.
Special CBI prosecutor Rahul Agarwal said that Lokhande demanded Rs 25,000 from a chartered accountant representing an oil mill to clear its tax assessment file. After negotiations, he agreed to accept Rs 15,000.
