- Police Verification for Passport
- Paid INR 500
I had to renew my existing passport and the job of verification was being handled by the Santacruz west police station. The document clearly stated that i needed to provide 2 out of the 15 categories of documents, however the policeman who was in charge of the verification (sits on the 1st floor), made me get all the 15 documents. Once i got all 15 documents, he asked me for my PAN card (which is not on the list ). I was made to run around for 2 days. On the third day, a person walked out of the office after getting his credentials verified and informed me that all it would take is Rs 500!! I paid the bribe and got my passport renewed.
I am ashamed to be an Indian, i hope this Indian passport gets me to another country where i can exchange it for that country's passport. There is no hope for India
