Dubai ka chashma, Cheen ki chaddi aur Hindustani Bribe.
This is not a government corruption thing but this is a bad experience and a bad practice that is prevalent in the recruiting agencies offices in mumbai. I faced a situation where I had been selected by a middle east company for a government project. the company for which I had been selected was a local private company which offers manpower to the government companies under the contract. generally according the government rule of that country the contracter the company that hires the employees from india has to bear the cost of the recruitment but the money is shared by the company representative and the agent and the agents take outrageous amount of money from the skilled unskilled workers that come to their offices in search of the job on the basis of the ad they put on the newspaper. The story is I paid 40,000 indian rupees to the recruiting agent as the service charge and the shocking thing was they asked me to sign and put thumb impression on a stamp paper declaring that I have paid only 2,000 indian rupees to the agent as the service charge. I'm unable to understand this. They say that they do it just to save tax and they do not benefit much from the money what they take as the service charge. I was going thru a bad phase that's why I needed the job so I didn't resist just symply paid the money. Can anything be done against such unscrupulous agents whose aim is to loot as much money as possible whether the company is good or not and whether the person they are taking money has sold land or taken it on loan from people. I request something should be done to prevent this kind of practice.
