What is the procedure for passport verification without bribing the police. ********** via CRC
Please visit the website of the Ministry of External affairs at http://passport.gov.in/
Here the details of how the passport is to be obtained is given in great detail. The status of your application can also be checked there. There is also a Tatkal scheme under which you can fast track your passport application.
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. Basically, these reports stress the importance of being firm and confident with the police. Remember, they cannot delay the verification, because the pendency of applications with them is closely monitored. If a police officer demands a bribe, please tell him clearly that you will complain to senior officials giving full details of when the official came to your house, how much he asked you as a bribe and other details. Collect his name and other details also, so that you can give a precise complaint. It is only if we stand up and be firm about not paying a bribe, that things will change.
