The influene of brokers is more common in the RTA department. First I have applied for the drivers licence in the Khammam RTA office which doesn't belong to my place of residence. I went through broker who is close to my friend. The office staff and the organizers of the local private driving schools have an understanding between them and the money is collected form the applicants according to their agreement. I have witnessed all these things when I went to apply my driving licence for the first time and the brokers will move there as if it is their own office. I went there and just studied the traffic signs there on the board for 10 minutes and gave the test and I was failed. On the same day itself the broker organized the test for me again with his influence and the questions were answered by him instead of me and I got through that exam. Later I did not go for the driving test and because I couldn't attend as I was away for my study and I did not get the licence. This was my experience when I have applied the licence for the first time. Because I need a licence to show as residence proof for my passport application I have applied for it the second time in my residence place kothagudem. I have went through broker who is a owner of the local driving school. This time I just paid the money Rs. 1500 to him and I got the licence within a month. They did not even asked me of taking a driving test.
This kind of corruption is dangerous because the outsiders influence in the government offices makes the people to not follow any rules and the also it has now come to an impression that people will get licence only through brokers. This brokerism should be eliminated because it makes not only government officials corrupt but also people will easily get corrupted since the people get what they want easily and quickly. This can be seen more in case of passport applications. Even if we have every document they ask for an other document which is not necessarily need and if we go through a broker we do not need that document at all.
