Bribe for Certificate of Fitness for new vehicle
- Transport
- Fitness Certificate for Vehicles
- Paid INR 100
Recently purchased a two-wheeler and was scheduled to produce the vehicle to the local RTO today for Fitness Certificate. The RTO inspector of the Motor Vehicles Department, Salt Lake Kolkata (Sector-V) is charging Rs. 100 via his touts from each person to get the vehicle verified. As per the touts, the RTO inspector gets the share of this bribe. People are called in early, yet processes are delayed and people are made to stand and wait outdoors in extreme summer heat while the RTO inspector comes out, sits in an AC car with a cup of tea and takes an inferior 4-wheeler driving test which is a mockery of driving capabilities as he asks the driver to drive and reverse. Registrations for new vehicles are delayed for more than over a month due to leisurely mood of the RTO officers hampering plying of vehicles on the road.
Even though I am hopeless to get any justice, I do hope the concerned authorities/ anti corruption branch and Government of India notices this and initiate a thorough investigation against this person via the cartel of his touts and get to the root of this corruption.
