Licence Extract

Reported on March 2, 2019 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #199772

I needed a DL Extract among other documents as required by my car insurance company to claim total loss of my vehicle after an accident. I was told this is available at Bangalore One and it is also mentioned on the internet that Bangalore one provides DL and RC extracts for Rs.18/- each. None of the three Bangalore One (National Games Village, Austin Town, Indiranagar BDA) that i visited were willing to give it to me the documents on the pretext of printers problems or server problems. I was asked by the customer to visit the RTO at RamMurthy Nagar to apply for it. When I went there I was told that they are take only online applications. I no longer stay in Bangalore, so was in a hurry to get the documents before I return. An agent outside the RTO offers to do it at Rs.1500/- I refused because I thought it was disproportionate to what is being offered at Rs.18/-. I left Bangalore without finding out the legal way to do it. Then I found a few agents / online services who offered to do it and I settled to pay the same amount the agent outside had offered to do it. I think the rate is fixed at a higher level because everyone asks for exactly the same price or more.
