Doctor having paid a bribe for death certificate of his doctor mother
- Municipal Services
- Death certificate
- Paid INR 500
I had recently read in the paper and found out the exact cost for death certificates, when I had approached the birth & death registration office at Shanthi Nagar Range office of BBMP Bangalore I was told the official charge per copy of the certificate was Rs.50/- and I applied for 10 originals & paid Rs.500/-, they asked me to come after 1 week & I received the 10 original death certificates, even worse is the fact that I am a doctor & my mother of who's certificate I had applied for was also a retired Doctor of the same BBMP, If this the plight for us what can be expected to others. there should have been a clear notification regarding the rates BBMP charges for these certificates, after reading the paper I realized that the 1st copy is free, next copy Rs. 50/- and subsequent copies Rs. 10/- that would be 0+50+(10X8)=130/- for 10 copies.
