Electricity Department Government officials innovating new business models for bribe.
- Electricity and Power Supply
- Change of Name in Records
- Paid INR 700
I live in HAL Airport Road area and we wanted to get the electricity bill name changed to our name, so that we won't get bothered because of others not paying the electricity bill.
We submitted the application. Some engineer name starting Nara ... came to our house with a form where we had to sign. He said Rs 1300/- is the charge for this, out of which I will get a receipt for 300 and the Junior Engineer and Assistant Engineer will have to sign on that form, which will cost Rs. 400 each bribe.
This is hilarious that now govt officials are coming home with forms so that bribe is taken at client's house than in their offices, where they can be caught.
I finally ended up paying him thinking that let me get this out of my way .. I am sure that the JE and AE won't do this .. but this is just a loop hole in the process that enables lower level people to find new ways to extract money.
