Bribe paid to carry out the duty

Reported on November 29, 2010 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #29677

I recently relocated to Bangalore and I needed an Address Proof for every thing(like operating a Bank account,applying for any loan / credit card, buying a Data Card, etc). So I applied for BSNL telephone connection with BroadBand, because the telephone bills can be used as address proof. I submitted the Attested Copy of Rental Agreement as address proof for the connection. Even after paying the registration fees and submitting all proper documentation, the BSNL telephones personnel who came to activate the land line took Rs 600 and the person who came to activate the BroadBand Connection took Rs 600. Initially they were demanding 800 and finally it was reduced to Rs 600. So totally I had to pay Rs 1200 as bribe to get a BSNL Telephone *******
