Police "Fee" for Passport *******
I have always been told (by friends and family) that Police Verification for Passport will not happen without greasing the hands of the policeman. However, a recent update from a friend that he managed to resist the bribe made me strong and happy. Thus when I had to renew my passport, I took a resolution to resist bribe if I am asked.
I had applied for a tatkal passport renewal and it required a Police Verification post the issue of the passport. I got a call from the Police Station to come for the verification. I went to the station the next day with the necessary documents. After a brief wait, I was called into the verification room and was asked for the documents, a letter stating that I did not have any criminal record and my signature on couple of documents at the station. Just when I thought everything is done, the policeman asked for "Fees". I told him there are no fees to be paid at the station and I have already paid the fee for passport renewal at the passport office. The policeman stared at me looking top to bottom and let me go.
I was relieved.
