4.Clerk who takes your thumb print and then photograph.

After that we were told to come in the evening . When we reached they said it is not ready as computers have broken down. It will take 30mins more. After 30mins, 1hr more. And then had a hint that they could get it done somewhere else if we pay 700 more. The signal was clear and we had to pay. Just after 5mins , the certificate was in our hands.
