Paid a bribe for birth certificate

Reported on March 15, 2011 from Mumbai , Maharashtra  ι Report #26318

Hello, Since I dont live in india, so Iam not sure about the names of persons or office address. All i know its in Bombay.
The thing is that during about 2008, I needed my indian birth certificate, and My father who is about 70 years old then not in great health was in india. And these people kept making him go from this office to that office, because my father refused to pay any bribes. However, finally we could not get the certificates, and I asked my cousin to help me, Which he paid about 5000 Rs to 10000 Rs and got it in about a weeks time, immediately and smoothly.
Very troubling situation this was. And definetely gave us a realistic impression that, If i want to ever invest in india or do some business there. Its not a game for people who are straightforward and legitimate.
