Common man and Corruption

1) If you are student and want to get attested photocopy of mark sheets with Govt official then please keep at least 50 rupees in your pocket. They charge 50 rupees for that and it is tax free income for govt first grade employees.

2) If you want to get Demand Draft in banks then you need to pay "extra" to peon otherwise you will have to wait till the end of day.

3) If you want to get loan sanctioned early or on time then you need to pay 1 to 5 percent of loan amount to manager otherwise your loan files may not be sanctioned.

4) If you want to get seat in AC compartment or during heavy rush if u want a seat in 2nd class sleeper, then even you have ticket of waiting then also you need to pay 100 rupees to Ticket Collector or TC or TT.

5)If you are carrying a huge luggage then you need to pay 50 rupees to bus conductor, If you wont pay then either conductor will not allow or will force you to take a receipt of higher amount then what the actual charges are.

6)If you want to be selected for some Govt post then you need to identify the interviewer and need to pay money. Money depends upon the post.

7) In any govt office if you want your work to be faster or at least to be done on time then you need either approach or huge sum of money which can be given to peon. Peon will take care of money and will be distributed to other officers.

8) If you want to get any tender then again you need to pay moti rakam (Huge amount of money) to babus and engineers.

9) If you are driving then even though you have all document then also you need to pay at least 50 rupees to save yourself from getting into trouble.
I know one style, what people do is that they keep only 50 rs in their pocket and no ATM card as well in pocket and pay 50 rs and get out from traffic police people.

10) If You go to a government office to obtain a birth certificate and the clerk demands a bribe of 50 rupees and if You don't pay up, You will end up going to the office some twenty times in the next one month and You may miss a dead line to apply for admission or face some other problem.

11) If you are farmer then you need to pay a lot of money to renew your certificate of land to obtain your land permission for agriculture purpose.

12) If you are running some business like shop etc then everyday cops will come to your shop and you need to pay a fixed amount of money to them. Else so many problems may happen with you and your business.

13) Even modern GOD also take money for better results. I am pointing the finger here on Govt Doctors where if patient is admitted in Govt hospital then someone from his family has to go to Doctor’s home and need to pay extra fees.

14) If you want driving license without delay then contact with broker and pay good amount of money. Processing will be smooth.

15)If you want to register F.I.R then also you need to pay some amount of money in police station which is most safe place for it.

All above points that I mentioned are my personal experience and there are many more type of corruption which exist in common man's life. Sometime I feel that without this corruption, common man can not live a better life in India.

This type of corruption is very small scale of corruption and there is large scale of corruption existed with higher level of people like politicians etc.
But to make India better we need to take steps and we need to avoid paying bribe or taking bribe.

Please note that above points does not make all the govt employees or police official corrupted but there are some employees in their department because of that people point out the fingers to everyone and to the whole department.
We also need to find out such honest people exist in those govt departments and need to appreciate them.
