Bribe for billing on correct meter reading

Reported on March 14, 2011 from Gurgaon , Haryana  ι Report #32383

The proficient Haryana ********** ********** Board meter reader had added an additional zero to my monthly electricity bill that led to a massive inflated bill. I highlighted the concern at to the relevant official at HVDB office in sector 21 Gurgaon, who asked for Rs.500 bribe to bring things in order. I walked away from his demand. Issue was sorted when they came back after a month to disconnect. It was after some ordeal that they noticed the glaring mistake and sent the correct reading.
