Didnt pay bribe to pay the Road Tax on my bike

Reported on July 7, 2011 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #31724

I brought my bike from Gujarat and went to the RTO Office in Kormangala to pay the road tax. The forms which were given to me were in Kannada ! the person on the window told me that you can purchase English forms from a photocopy shop. I got the forms, filled them and suddenly one 'helpful' gentleman asked me whether I want his services to quickly pay the road tax. he said his fees is only Rs. 100/- I thought he will stand in the queue for me and get it done. Then he said he wants Rs. 1500/- for the RTO inspection etc. I was surprised. He said he needs to pay the amount to some 3 guys to sign inspection report for my bike. I said 'thanks' and stood in the queue myself. Within 10 minutes the formalities were over and my road tax was paid. Please do not fall prey to agents. They present simple things as very difficult ones and if you try on your own, you can do the things within no time and no issues.
