I had to pay bribe in order to accelerate the process of DL acquisition.

Reported on August 9, 2013 from Sambalpur , Orissa  ι Report #35337

First I had applied for Learner License for 2 wheelers. After 3 months I applied for Driving License which is operated in PPP mode. I had submitted all biometric and personal details along with required fees. I was waiting for notice or call from RTA for my driving test. Usually one gets a date within 15 days but I waited for 2 months. Upon regular querying I got reply that the file is in process. At last I contacted a middle man (unauthorized RTA Agent) within the RTO campus who happened to be from my neighborhood.

As I entered the RTO with him I was only a silent and helpless observer there. He immediately called an employee of form processing counter(who worked for the private company in charge of data processing) and my application(which was almost thrown away in a corner drawer) was recovered and sent to second floor of the campus for driving test date scheduling . Within one hour I got a date scheduled to be within that same week.

Upon arrival for driving test on scheduled time I came to know that a clerk was arrested by Vigilance Officials just one day earlier and all the schedules have been postponed. I got a date after 10 days. I attended the test before MVI who just stood there for 15 minutes for 12 candidates.

After 10 days I got confirmation letter from RTA and DL from my agent after 25 days.

As the middleman was from my neighborhood he charged only Rs.1000.00(as he said).

I was awed as well as surprised how one person is helpless in government offices despite of having all right documents ready.

What's your reaction?
