I went for a new vat registration. First i Paid 500/- as Registration fees for which i got a reciept. after that for 7 days no one from their side came for verification hence i went up and called them to my business place. After that next day i went to CTD office, their i paid 6025 rs. for which i got reciept(5000 deposit,1000 professional tax), after that a caseworker who made those reciept asked me to pay him he told me that i should pay him 800/- i refused..so he kept my file in between of old files n dint even return it n threatened me that "you will be coming back for paying taxes...i vl see u then",after that i had to pay him 500 to get my file back, then comes the inspector, and she asked for 1000/-, and then ACCT he asked 1500/-,then the person who prints Certificate for her 300/-,then for peeyon 100 rs. so overall i paid 3400 rs as bribe. without which they would have not even touched my file. and i think this is the same story in all commercial taxes department.
I paid this bribe so as to get a BPL rashan card made as the
IAS oficer handling this was asking for the same ! i had to sell my other mercidiees for this ! now i go to market in my Ferrrari ! :(
I was in urgent need for my passport as I had to go abroad for work purpose and it seemed like my application wasn't being processed because of a computer error. I bribed an official through an agent and received my passport within a week.
The passport seva kendras have automated the passport application process and co-ordinate with the local police for background checks. In my case, they wrongly sent the background check request to a different police zone(I live in Hyderabad, which has two police zones) and was stalled for almost two months.

But the application was done 3 months back.

"Don't you pay tip to the hotel waiter" said the policeman when I refused to pay bribe, I said " that is the difference, you are not equivalent to waiter, you are much more than that, I have great respect for you, I am safe because you are there, I salute you" and I literally saluted him. The policeman explained how he has to bribe "higher-up", but finally I managed to explain to him how it was not about Rs.100. and it was about principles. Not sure what happens to my passport status.
I was asked to pay a bribe of Rs.6000 by the assistant labour officer for renewal certificate i.e after i paid all the challans and submitted all the documents. He typed in the calculator an amount of 6000 and showed me. I told i wont be able to pay and u can verify the documents and let us know if we need to submit anythg else.
I do not remember the name of officer.
But this is a common practice in labour office and can be checked by anytime going there.
On behalf of Resident Welfare Association I was required to hand over Demand Draft towards pro-rata charges to Cashier in BWSSB office , Yelahanka, Bangalore. The cashier while accepting the DD, shamelessly demanded fifty rupees for giving me the receipt for the DD. He was also making it very clear that he will not accept the DD if the bribe was not made. This was done openly in the office. The cashier sits next to the Manager outside AEE cabin
