Respected sir,
i am a student of tolani college sir,(this all are going on in andheri reservation booking office) sir especially tatkal quota tickects are less available and it takes nearly 12 hour to stay at station as it is unbearable to inform u that the constables of railway police force and booking officers are involved in corruption
as further i like to inform u that as per the rule one person can give one form when he is in counter but the agents are giving 4 to five forms at a time which unable the public to get confirmed reservation tickects even if they are staying nearly 12 hour in que and the same person who is doing this you can see daily in que if public does'nt allow or ask about it to the officers involved in corruption they regert the form by the person who wants a confirm tickect
kindly look after this matter and if you want to confirm it you can see it in andheri station when tatkal tickect are being given please look after it and take possible action
I applied for Renewal of Trade License on 30/4/2013 by taking a DD for Rs. 3000/- as Renewal License fee in BBMP favour. It was tough time to trace the BBMP Office as it had shifted and there was no notification of the same.
When i went to the concerned BBMP office at Austin Town, Bangalore, the officer incharge of Birth and Death (as the concerned Health Inspector was not there at that time) asked me to pay Bribe to the cashier to remit the License Fee. I paid 50/- rs. to the cashier and had to wait for 35 minutes to get the receipt.
Later i had to followup with the Health Inspector for almost 45 days and today i got the renewal, which is just an entry in the original certificate with seal. Today the Health Inspector demanded 1500/- rs. but finally i negotiated for 500/- rs. and got it done.
One surprising fact is there is no information about Vigilance cell contact details in the BBMP Website nor in the local Austin Town Office.
While travelling from Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh to Bina a place 139 KMs from Bhopal, as it was a unplanned journey, I had to travel along with my wife and kids, with a unreserved ticket. The price I paid for the ticket was around Rs 140.00 and with reservation it is not more than Rs 450. As it was hardly few minutes for the train to depart from Bhopal Station, we boarded in a reserved, sleeper coach. During the visit of TTE (till then we have crossed the half of the way to our destination) I voluntary revealed that I am travelling with a ticket of general class and I am willing to pay the difference amount of the cost of tickets. Primarily the TTE denied stating that there is no vacant seat in the same coach, and I will have to change the same and I can continue travelling in the same coach by just paying Rs 200.00 extra (that would be without any official receipt) instead of Rs 240.00. I insisted on paying the full amount with the official receipt and was willing to continue travelling in the same coach as my wife had a place to sit.
While I forwarded him a note of Rs 500.00 with an expectation of getting a return of the change of Rs 260.00 and the receipt for the amount, he smiled and said “ SIR AAP TO SEAT BHI NAHI LE RAHE HE, ME PURE PAISE KAISE LE LU” he just moved ahead returning me the balance of Rs 300.00.

The RTO Electronic City branch is in shambles. Filthy sacks of cement lie along with broken chairs, dumped under a horrible stand, the only place to keep papers on, that you have to sign. I have been driving for over 30 years. Since my return to India, I wished to renew my expired license. I loathe the experience. No clear chart about how much to pay, and for what. You have to trust an agent when he says "Ma'am, they may fail you because..." "Up to you ma'am, how much do you want to pay? Then everything will be taken care of." I loathe that citizens have to be in this ugly dilemma. I HATED the place so much I paid up never to come there again. The 'driving test' was a farce. The inspector didn't see how well I drove. I didnt get any feedback. Pass? Fail? The agent told me I passed because of the money I gave them. Who pocketed it? I don't know.
I am ready to pay even Rs2000 for renewal but it must be CLEAR AND TRANSPAREnt what I am paying for. And that the money goes to IMPROVING the filthy public premises. What a shame.
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.
