Practical guide to get your work done without paying any bribe

 

Government babus (officials) use different tactics to extract bribe. You may take the following action to counter those tactics. These are very simple & useful. I have tried them with very successful results.

 

(1) Indefinite Delay: They keep on delaying your work until you go to them & offer bribe.

 

Solution:  Don’t visit government offices. Follow up your pending work through letters. You may send letters by courier, registered post or speed post. Local speed post costs only Rs 12/-. Local couriers are available at Rs 5/-. You may also use RTI Act to know status of your work. In this case you need to spend another Rs 10/-.

 

(2) Demanding unnecessary papers: Sometimes they demand unnecessary papers & give hints that work can be done without those papers if you bribe.

 

Solution: If they can offer to do your work without additional papers with bribe, it means that those papers were definitely unnecessary.  (i) Ask babus to demand those papers in writing and record the conversation. (ii) Write a letter stating that you demanded these papers. Are they really mandatory as per law?  You can also use RTI Act here. (iii) Use RTI Act to find out whether he demanded those papers from other applicants. (iv) Whatever paper he demands, send by post. Never deliver anything without receipt. 

 

Remember no officer will complete your work without mandatory papers. He will keep his file perfectly clean.

 

 

(3) They advise you to pay bribe so that you pay less tax / penalties. Many times they demand higher amount for penalties than prescribed under laws.

 

Solution:  (1) Check laws if you can (2) Record conversation & tell them that you are going to report to Anti-Corruption Bureau.  (3) Use RTI Act to find out how much was paid by others under similar circumstances.

 

(4) When the babu is not available in office.

 

Solution: Write a letter that I came to your office on say, 1st August at 11 AM but you were not available. Your assistant Mr. Rama Rao told me to come again on 5th August.  This letter will make him take special care of your work.

 

(5) If nothing works, try this.

 

When you don't have any option, record the conversation, pay money & get your work done. After your work is completed, meet that babu and demand your money back. Tell him that you are going to complaint, if he does not return your money. Tell him about Jago party. Take some Jago pamphlet or advertisement copy with you. This will most likely make him return your money.

 

(6) Develop  the habit of complaining.

Whenever you see crime & corruption, send written complaints to head of that department, ACB / CBI, local newspapers & Jago Party.

 

(7) Don’t be submissive.

Call babus by their names. Don’t call them "sir". Be polite but don’t show unnecessary respect.  Be firm and confident. Talk about RTI Act & Jago party. Babus are always afraid of knowledgeable people. 

 

These methods may sound unbelievable but try it at least once to discover their power.

 

Remember: Smallest action is much better than the noblest intentions.

This is EXCELLENT. Thanks for forwarding.

This may have already been done, but an easy to understand version of the RTI act along with phone numbers of relevant Anti-Corruption Bureau officers should be put up in big signs outside of every Government office.We should push our politicians to make this mandatory in all government offices.

Hello,
I hope and wish that there are other discussion groups elsewhere to discuss this topic in detail and take actions, so I will keep my comments short.

+ The guide/tips are definitely useful for getting work done at govt. office, without paying bribe. This will help, but there will always people and businesses in hurry to maximize profit, who do not have patience. Sometimes they INDEED do not have required documents and have no chance of getting work done, what will stop them from offering bribe.

For example : What will stop father of a son (who does NOT have merit) from bribing people who check exam papers?
I do not know the answer.

+ Another related aspect is : Monopoly
Take example of driving license issued by RTO. Why should only they have authority to issue driving license? Can it be privatized with involvement of credible partner (TATA motors). If such private agency that does not take bribe and have strict procedure for issuing driving licenses exists, then parents can tell their kids that unless they get license from the private agency, it is not safe for them to take car/bike on the road.

Another solid example is land line phone connection. When it was monopoly, people had to bribe, now so many private players in telecommunication that it is not a monopoly.

+ Motivation for govt. officer
Where and what is the motivation for govt. official to stay clean, work hard and honestly?. It it rewarded? How? Does he get promotion or salary increment based on honest work?

Just my thoughts.
