India as a Country is beyond repair!
My experience in buying a home in India has been absolutely night mare. The amount of corruption, money that needs to be thrown for registration under the table, to get other things done, like Khata, Electricity bill transfer is no less than a night mare. Above all mental harassment by government officials.
I started feeling, I made a mistake by buying a home in India, instead of getting happy.
Yesterday, I had to 500 rupees bribe for police for my kids passport (just 9 months) verification. Total shithole.
How do these government officials sleep peacefully at the end of the day after gulping lakhs of rupees in a single day. How do they not feel empathy. Are there no honest and hardworking government officials in India?

Think of it this way: don't you pay extra for tatkal and premium tatkal? Same for flights right? Then why whine about the same here?
You can always go the legal route and follow all the procedure and do all the hurdles yourself, if you have enough energy to "live by the principle". Expecting tatkal/premium tatkal in normal ticket price is just whining.
Kya bhai dimaag bi hai kya
Jo kaam hona chahiye hai normal time me uske liye bhi paise lgte hai
Aisa nahi hai paise lene ke baad turant kar denge first priority pe
Unhone system hi aisa bana liya hai ki jo paise dega uska hi hoga
Death certificate burth certificate etcetc
You’re justifying bribing experience
There was one... ashok khemka. Never forgot his name. One guy stood like a wall against corruption and got 50+ transfers every year 2. Crazy guy. All govt employees one side this guy one side.
There are plenty of honest enough ones that keep the country running. But they aren't enough in numbers.
They probably feel entitled, since the government is paying them peanuts (given the responsibilities of their work if they do that right and honest) and they see the high end salary of a private salaried individual, it's human nature to feel jealous, and any smart + morally weak person will in that situation will feel opportunistic to extort money. The thing about Indian system is that it's based on cheapness instead of actual value and thus we get cheap work in return, look at the tenders issued for road development for example, bidding happens on whichever contractor can do the work in cheapest price, nobody focus on quality here and that similar mindset is in the government jobs too, they give job security and constant but low tier pay while giving big responsibilities, of course corruption would happen in such case. I think India should grow out of this cheap mentality and focus on value generation and fair working conditions, a lot of things can be solved that way.
Assume you have two jira tickets you need to work on at Oracle. The amount of work to be done is exactly the same in both. One jira ticket is normal, but there is one more jira ticket that has extra perks like 5L bonus, 1 month paid leave and an international trip.
Will you grow out of a cheap mentality and not take on the jira ticket that has perks?
500₹ is minimum at time of police verification otherwise they threat that they will fail verification.
There is colossal unimaginable corruption in every single govt department.
Agree! It was just for 9 month old they took 500. I remember paying 1k for mine.
After paying 30 to 40% in direct taxes and then 5 to 20% in indirect taxes and custom/special duties for petrol, alcohol, in addition this bribes, It's getting difficult even to lead normal lifes
Anyone agrees to it or not but we Indians don't have a shred of honour and integrity left.
People around the world are corrupt, it's just the fear of law that can curtail these activities. But law 🤡.
Everyone here would / had bribed in fraction of sec as soon as it gets the work done, even for as pious acts of temple darshan.
Similarly anyone in power would not think a sec before taking it. And it's not just the government, even the private sector has a tremendous bribing culture. It's just that most IT folks don't come across it.
Yes other countries are corrupt too, but not snatching away basic facilities from common people. My question is after paying all this, we have to end up paying for drinking water and food air too. Which is why I say it’s beyond repair.
I understand your pain! Have faced the same, but I’ve found a way to hold my ground and not pay bribes. I very respectfully ask - what is the additional charge for? And ask them only for alternates in which I need not pay these bribes! I’ll admit, doesn’t work always, but even 2 out of 10 times is a win!
For police verification, the guy in the police station kept showing hand and said thank you sir thank you mam, I politely returned the thanks and walked out 🙈
It’s not about that bro! Police has the power to reject your passport too by giving some random reason too.
Here in India, instead of feeling safe looking at police, we get scared more .😅
Toh why do you need tickets, travel by foot no? You pay for need/emergency. These govt fucks need not take extra apart from their salary. I think your company needs investigation on how much you are getting bribed for 🙃
I mean like seriously? I’m already paying 50000 as tax every month, when bought a home I paid 7-8 lakhs as tax, now for simple KHATA and Electricity bill transfer if I have to pay bribe on top of it then isn’t it a shit hole?
