Paid for getting Land Registration Doc
"Going rate" of a new ration card in L-ward Ration office is Rs 7000/-. But I had filed RTI application to concerned dept and had full knowledge about issuance of fresh Ration card. I was almost forced for bribe for issuing forms to submission to process of form, but after showing that I have written reply about all these, govt officials were forced to process my application w/o bribe. Yes, they made me one extra round of office, but that's still OK. My neighbors have paid 5K+ for Ration card work through agents. I didn't face any problem at all while getting transfer certificate from K/E ward Ration card office.
Moral: If you know the rules/procedure, officials will still try arm-twist you to pay bribe. Just be informed about rules. If Head officer is clean, dept is clean.
