It's the norm in many Regional Transport Offices. You have to pay some money to get your job done. The amount is meager -Rs.50/- So not many raise a question. I tried to ask the RT Officer's PA on why he is asking for this money. The answer is simple - "to make sure you get your license". It's in fact a veiled attack that the officer wont sign your application unless you pay the money. I had no choice but to pay the money - else no matter how well i do the test, they are going to fail me :( RTOs are one of the most bribed departments in the government. And the bribing happens in broad day light; it's more the norm. Also since the officer's PA does this, the officer goes unscathed even if there is a raid or a complaint is filed.
