First bribe of My Life

I applied for passport in 2016 and process was smooth. After 1 month a local police verification need to be done. So, as this is a small town here police don't arrive to your place rather you have go to the local police station with all your documents to get your local identification verified for a succesful Passport application. I was 21 yrs old that time.

So, I went to the police station with all documents and after 1 hour of wait submitted all documents and did multiple signatures on a form. Then I thought process is complete and now can leave for home.  flushed after 5-10 sec that officer told me to come with him out of the office premises and then suddenly asked me for Rs.1000 bribe and said if I don't pay that that verification file will not move to next steps, Also he said that money goes upto high authority like SP (IPS) so, no one can help me in that case.

After a bergen Rs.750 was the final amount what I had given to that officer as a brieb. That time I was taking math tuition and earning Rs.1000 every month, so I gave the bribe with that hard earned money  pensive

And that was a very bad day for me emotionally as I never had any idea about that kind of people do exist in the world. So, that how I faced a live corruption.

What's about you ?  hushed

At 2012 i got a passport verification message. But when i went to police station he was keep on denying that they didnt received any mail for 3 months. Luckily my friend went to commissioner office for some work and i told him to eqnuired there once regarding my passport. Next day i got a call from police station for police verification and there was almost 100 people was there for passport verification. This lower level officers never work until they got some dose from high level officers..

Now that passport is never used and expired and I did not renew it...

I was also asked for chai paani and all I did was act insanely foolish, like I don't know anything and I am in very need of a passport for my job as I want to support my family Moneterily.

Moreover, I acted like I wanted to give a bribe but all he is asking for is chai paani which I don't understand. I was also checking my phone again and again to hint to him that I might be recording the conversation.

So they would never ask directly for money. Even if they, just say I can't afford.

This trick worked for me, should work for anyone. It's just a free money for them, if they get it it's better if don't it's not a loss for them.

I paid Rs 1000 in year 2007 for passport police verification, paid Rs 500 for marriage certificate

Rs 3000 for driving licence trial ( wife not mine)

I think it's a nominal charge and no point in complaining for such small amount 

 I feel we are lucky because by giving this small amount our file move faster and hastlefree

Police personnel can never hold up your passport application if you don't pay bribe because they have been mandated to convey your verification status to passport office within i guess 21 days or 1 month after that penalty is imposed by passport office on concerned police department.

Seems it's legal in Punjab, On verification day I received the below SMS..

POLICE: Jai Hind. Prescribed facilitation fees for police verification are Rs.100. After payment, please collect your receipt from the visiting officials. At your service: Punjab Police.

Ended up paying rs.500 for verification of 5 passports. BTW no receipts were ever issued.

never heard this... can anyone confirm or post a photo/screenshot of message? from which number you received the message? 

In Telangana districts lot of friends and relatives has taken passports in the last five year.. no bribe... no problems at all.. simple process.. no need to visit any big cities...looks like credit to be given to both central gov and Telangana gov.

I paid 200 Rs only once that too back in 2008 as I applied for a passport without an agent. The same year I got my brother's passport without a bribe.

After that I got my brother's passport and mine passport renewed, my wife, two kids passport issued without any bribe. Recently renewed my kid's passport without any bribe too.

Social Media is your power, if your documents are right, then you don't have to worry.

The word "Bribe" is emotional. Consider this as "tip". No more emotional.

Be smart. You wont feel bad for paying tip.

I always welcome tips, so that things will move as expected.

Where there is a BRIBE, there is  a development.
What ever development you see in the world, all are due to bribe/tip/motivation/prasannam.
I can give justification for any kind of Bribe and how the bribe turned out to be positive for the entire world.

Ditto happened with me. Constable came out in the premises after verifying all documents. And asked me money.

I said I don't have any money, have already paid the passport fees.

He warned file will not move.

I said no problem, I am in no hurry. Aap apna poora time lijiye. blush

Recieved my passport 12 days later.

Last year this was how my passport verification went: 

The police stay in a quarter just beside the station, he called me there, asked 2-3 questions, and took signatures, xerox copy of my ID proofs, and educational certificate. Asked to take the mask off once to match the photo. And then said I may visit your house soon, but if you get a call from the SP office, tell them I visited.


Here is the strange part, he didn't ask for any money. I was shocked as well. Have an upcoming police verification(mother's passport) this week, let's see how it goes. It's been a year since then.

Update:

Things didn't go well like earlier. This time some other officer was there. He made us wait more than a hour. And then made me bring 10 Xerox copies of a form, as they are out of forms and doesn't even have 20rs.

.

Police guy asked 10 names of document to see which one my mother doesn't have to make an issue. Bola rented house me no passport. I explained him there is no such rule. He said it's my rule.

.

Phir ek room me le gya aur bola bada babu se baat karta hoon, unko kuch dena padega abhi dekh lo aap.

.

I asked how much? He was like koi jabardasti nahi hai, aap dekh lo. He wasn't telling exact figure. I said 200?

.

Bola "200? Nahi jaane do. Mai aise hi update kar dunga." (It wasn't clear kya update karega, but most probably he meant clear report dega)

.

Then oh chair se uthne ja raha tha. Mai bola thik hai 500 le lo (I should have negotiated more stuck_out_tongue)

.

He agreed and took it. Bola Monday tak update karta. Abhi audit chal raha office me. Let's see.

Passport not required yet ( garibi). But i required police verification for my conducter licence in 2012 i am 20 year old that time. I visit the police station submit my all documents with my beat constable  (rajasthan me police ko area decide Kiya jata hai). He say "ham kale aapke liye hi krte hai. Kuch kharcha kr do. And give me a slip of stationary item.  I replied "aap haath kale apne bivi, bachhon, khud aur baki family members ke liye krte ho mere liye nhi.

Aapne mere ghar pr aana chahiye tha wo TA DA aapki extra income hi h.

And next day my verification done.

I offered by myself to the police uncle who visited at my place for the police verification, he said, " beta rakh lo, sarkari naukar hu, mahine ka sattar hazar kaaafi hai mere liye "

I was like, 🥺 kaash saare Police wale aese hote, India would be a better place.

Strange reading so many unpleasant experiences.

I applied for my wife's passport renewal (address change) last month in Chennai and got the passport next day without any verification. She got call from Police a week later but no bribes or nothing.

I do remember when I applied first time; then, I used to stay in B'lore but Police visited my Chennai flat. Next day visited Chennai Police Station, he took me outside and asked 500 stating I stay out of Chennai. I gave him 300 which he took without any hassle.

Just done with my PSK appointment on Monday, thought the process was not that bad, par ab lag raha hai woh toh trailer tha

If some dimer could suggest the next move, when to visit police station i.e till when should I wait for the police to come or should I just visit the station and tell, if asked for bribe should I deny it ? And 500 is the usual amount ?
