Death Certificate cost Rs.2,000

Reported on March 21, 2011 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #25631

My wife and I went to the Registrar of Births and Deaths office in Bangalore about ten years back to get a true copy of the Death Certificate of my father-in-law. The clerks there would not move a finger and would act as if we were not present there, looking elsewhere. When I started to flash a wad of Rupees, I got their attention. We had to bribe the peon, the clerks and the officer who signs the Death Certificate to get the Certificate on the same day.
