I know that demanding bribes for passport verification is a common problem. The situation is one where the police know that you have no choice, and so extract a price from you. Where you come across instances such as this, I would suggest that you make a written complaint about such case to the vigilance authorities mentioned in the website of the External Affairs Ministry, at</p>

<p>
Please also file an RTI application with the Passport office to find out what has happened to your application, if it is delayed. When encountering the police, please mention to the police that you know your rights and that you will complain to higher authorities if they demand a bribe. There are several instances reported in our -I didnt pay a bribe section where citizens have successfully resisted demands for bribes for the issue of passports and for the police verification. It is only if we stand up and be firm about not paying a bribe, that things will change.</p>
