Bribe in form of 'forced donation'

Reported on May 3, 2016 from Thane , Maharashtra  ι Report #102697

Office: RTO office Virar District Thane Maharashtra
Name of official : window clerk on window 13. He refused to give his name
Time : approx 11.30 am on 29 Apr 2016
My vehicle registration number : MH 48 S 9916
My wife's vehicle registration number : MH 48 AC 8554
Our work : Both above vehicles registered at the Vasai address of flat owned by my wife. The RC Books had been returned back undelivered to the RTO office at Virar as the Vasai flat is our secondary residence. My wife and I had to go personally to the RTO office to pick up the RC book on the above date
My complaint : we paid the official fees of Rs. 50/- for each car for which we got the official receipt. When I went to window 13 with the official receipt to pick up the RC book I was asked to pay cash donation of Rs. 100 each ( total Rs. 200/-) . When I protested I was handed over 2 ' donation receipt' of Rs. 100/- each from an organisation named as Shashatra Sena Dhwajdin Nidhi 2015' . I refused to pay but was told in which case the RC book would not be handed over but sent again by post. Since I needed the RC book I was forced to pay this bribe disguised as forced donation .
I am willing to file official complaint if this matter is taken up.
