Department:	Police
Transaction:	Traffic violations
Bribe Type:	personal
Details:	I think Bangalore traffic police has reached next level of corruption. In a matter of 2months, 3 times the traffic police guy stops my car and shows some traffic violation recorded on his blackberry against my car number. As we are multiple users of the car thinking somebody else defaulted and end up paying just to realise that these are false violations.. all those days either the car was in the garage or in another part of town. Interesting is these inspectors are giving receipt also, and its so easy to print those things with the new machines. Absolutely loosing trust , no idea what system is trust worthy. And we citizens have no option to just pay else be harassed by these corrupt people..

Department:	airports
Office Location:	Airport
Transaction:	Luggage Handling
Bribe Type:	personal
Details:	I was in the departure area of Chennai Aiport with my family and one of the baggage handlers offered for help. I know he would ask for some money but was OK to take help. In few minutes, one more guy joined and I kept telling them, I don't need two guys and he never listned. They were with me for 15-20 minutes. They did help but they demanded more than Rs. 400 each. I did not want to create a scene in the airport so had to give them what the want. I can't blame everyone as I did see the police trying to chase them out but it was too late. It would be better if they can make it formal service so everyone can be benefited.

Bribe Type:	personal
Details:	I got offer from abroad 2 month ago in a reputed company & I approached agent for getting passport in tatkal scheme , He promised me that I will get passport within 8 days & asked for arranging VC & 8,000 bribe . I spent my 10 days in delhi for getting VC from Higher level .After getting VC & producing 17 document to passport officer , He asked me again & again for other documents like bank statements etc...even minimum requirement was fulfilled. Finally again I rushed to bank which was 100 Km from office. Again next day submitted the application & finally got the receipt. In short I have spent more than 40,000 Rs ( in Travel , Hotel etc..) & 2 months time, pain of rush, career compromise for getting passport but got so late that I am not sure that company will accept me after so much of delay. At this stage I am feeling real means of bribe for these person with my career even I have fulfill all requirements. If govt made these systems for our facilitation than why they are playing with our life for money & ignoring urgency of persons.

Department:	airports
Office Location:	mumbai airport
Transaction:	Others
Bribe Type:	personal
Details:	I was flying overseas by Singapore airlines in 2004 and had a few kgs extra. Hence I was asked to pay the excess luggage charges by the Check-in counter staff who I understand work for a ground operations handling agency. I was asked to go to another counter manned by some ******** staffer where I had to pay for the excess luggage. Once I had paid the necessary charges the fellow manning the counter with his ****** ID ( with the name ****** ********) refused to give me the balance cash owed to me (Rs 140). When I asked him for it, he bluntly said that they don't return balance change and that the passenger has to pay the exact amount. I was later told that this was one of the oldest tricks in their books and they are routinely known to fleece people once they realise that their passport has blank pages (indicating that he or she hasn't traveled overseas often and is a naive first timer ignorant of the rules ) God save this country !!!

Department:	Police
Office Location:	Whitefield (nea
Transaction:	Passport verification
Bribe Type:	personal
Details:	I was calle on 28th Jan 2012 night around 9:15 PM asking to furnish the documents required for passport verification at the whitefield police station on 28th Jan 2012. When I went there I was guided to a section where there were two people seated in the table (neither of them were in uniform nor there was board on the table to know who they were).The main guy was busy working on some file. I was attended to by a older person sitting on the right hand side of the table. He made me fill up all the papers(he wouldnt do that either though he was prepared to take a processing fee'bribe' from me for the same). After all the paper work without a bit a shame he ask me for the fee to send the papers back. I asked how much is the fee he said anything you wish. I handed him a 100 Rupees he said that money will go to the passport office, then I informed him I had paid 1000Rs as fee already at the passport office, then he suddenly started talking in Kannada (we were communicating in Tamil as I was not very comfortable in Tamil). I looked up to the higher official to check if he was noticing any of this, but he acted alien to all this. Finally I was asked to pay 500 Rs. I am disgusted I had to do it, but happy atleast I questioned him why I need to payup.

No bribe no water

Reported : January 30, 2012 - 09:24 | City : Indore
Paid On : January 27, 2012 | Water Supply and Sewerage

PAID5000

Department:	Water Supply and Sewerage
Transaction:	Others
Bribe Type:	personal
Details:	MP is the second most bribe prone state after probably UP. My Sr Cit parents live on their own here. The house we live in there has 2 water connections which we have had since the last 15 yrs. Issue 1 Lack of knowledge about which department does what. Getting this knowledge is very difficult and cumbersome, and time consuming to say the least. One has to spend at least 4-6 months before one can actually get the right person who will give the correct details of roles and responsibilities. Issue 2: Rampant mafiaism at municipal level and absolute lack of responsibility on part of citizens to correct their ways; While taking connection also way back in 1996-97 we had to bribe the municipal daroga and the water department contractor who did the digging and connections. That time my dad managed it at his knowledge level. This time, due to some water supply upgrade at the district level (I think) where new lines were laid down, the water supply dept. and sewage department colluded and ensured that in the old supply lines, drainage water was pumped in. This way they forced the residents to go for the new connection and stuck a deal that for every single connection the connection team will charge Rs. 1200, for 2 connections it will be 2200/- On top of that, for some residents, since the initial supply pipe from the main line into the residence would have got spoilt, the water supply contractor suggested that both sides of the road have to be dug, which will call for doubling the amount as above. Now in our case, since our pipelines are 15 yrs old, we had no choice but to take a chance and replace the old ones with new. Total laborers called - 4 (they get paid Rs 300 per day, so 1200 for their labor, going up to a max of Rs 1500/-) Ditch size dug - 140x180 and 220x80 depth 5 ft each Material for connections - Rs. 3000/- Total cost of the work turned out to be Rs. 7500/- which ideally should have cost us nothing more than 1500/- + material The other part of this bribing system is that the municipal daroga (supervisor) who goes on his morning rounds checking sewage and water supply charges additional amount from the water supply contractor, hence his amount is also factored in the charges asked for by the contractor. At the end of the day, we don't have a written permission that we should take this new connection in lieu of the old one, and we don't have any proof or any news that the old pipe line is actually getting phased out once this new one is laid out. Even for this, I was told by the contractor that residents have to give a written application that they have taken a new connection and the old one has to be phased out. Given that there are ways to get this done legally, but the work is so time consuming and sapping that at least in my personal case, I had only 2 days to spend at home, and had to get this done. a. My dad was unwell and advised bed rest, so he could not use his muscle to demand not paying the amount, and would have tried to get it through the right way b. My office didn't allow me more than 2 days threatening to terminate my services if I went on any leave more than 2 days. Hence I Paid a *******

MOST OF THE TIME , THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND ANY CONTRABAND, AND INSTEAD TURN SMUGGLERS THEMSELVES, BY CARTING AWAY MANY ALCHOHOL AND CIGGARETTES FROM THE SHIP, (MEANT FOR USE BY SHIPS STAFF)TO BE SOLD IN TE MARKET. NEEDLESS TO SAY THEY DO NOT PAY ANYTHING FOR THE LOOT. THIS CREATES A BAD NAME FOR THE COUNTRY AS MANY FOREIGNERS , WHO ARE ON THE SHIP WILL TELL MANY OTHERS AND SPOIL THE REPUTATION OF THE COUNTRY IN THE LONG RUN. FROM THE SECURITY ASPECT AS WELL ,CONNIVANNCE WITH SOME SECTION OF CUSTOMS OFFICERS AND FOREIGN AGENCIES COULD RESULT IN ARMS AND UNDESIRABLE ITEMS TO BE SMUGGLED INTO THE COUNTRY USING THE SAME ROUTE. NEEDLESS TO SAY SUCH ITEMS ARE NOT CHECKED BY THE CRPF STAFF POSTED AT THE GATE, AS THEY TOO ARE BRIBED IN TURN BY THE CUSTOMS OFFICERS, SO THAT THEY CAN EASILY TAKE THE LOOT INSIDE THE COUNTRY WITHOUT ANY CHECK. 99% OF THE TIME THESE ARE NOT REPORTED AS THEY INVOLVE FOREIGN NATIONALS WHO ARE NOT INTERESTED IN PURSUING SECURITY OR SMUGGLING RELATED COMPLAINTS . I APPEAL TO THE SECURITY AGENCIES TO INVESTIGATE SUCH *******

Demand for building completion certificate *******

Reported : January 28, 2012 - 13:08 | City : Hubli
Paid On : November 30, 1999 | Municipal services

PAID6000

Department:	Municipal services
Office Location:	Zonal 5
Transaction:	Building completion certificate
Bribe Type:	personal
Details:	It's almost 6 months since we applied for our building CC. However, no official visited the site. When we went to the office to check the status, they said our file was not there, although we had the acknowledgement. We resubmitted the papers and followed up with the concerned departments (with great difficulty) and finally the guy visited our house. He just started saying that there have been violations and it would be difficult for him to issue a CC. Since I didn't offer any bribe, he realized that I'm not the 'bribe-paying kind'. We were asked to visit the office after a couple of days and when we visited there, he had prepared a long list of violations which amounted to 31,000 rs. Now we came to know thru our engineer that it's customary to charge between 12-15000 as violation fees and pay a bribe to these people so that our CC is issued. No idea what to do next. Feel ashamed to even offer a bribe and can't imagine how these people can sleep after collecting all these bribes. I have got to hear that all the bribe paying processes are done after 6pm. Any ways to stop these guys???
