Corrupt officer at the department of Registration of Births and Deaths

Reported on April 8, 2011 from Pune , Maharashtra  ι Report #9494

How to convince a government officer that spelling mistakes are his fault? Is there a provision for the same?

I paid 2000/- rupees in the 1st floor toilet to the officer who agreed to correct spelling mistakes in my name and my address on my son's birth certificate.

While I am already feeling bad, I was surprised and shocked that after receiving that amount, he passed me to his clerk who simply gave me the terminal and keyboard. I could have typed anything technically.

I am feeling ashamed of myself for this act. For the most part it appears such things happen because we don't have time to spend on it.
