Paid a bribe for a new format of Birth Certificate although I already have one
- Municipal Services
- Birth Certificate
- Paid INR 500
I am 30 years old and have a valid birth certificate.I required a recentlly certified Birth certificate copy for a WP visa from them. But seems the Municial corporation lost pages of my birth record in their registers. They said most of the pages were torn. So although legally my old copy was valid they did not consider it and I had to pay them to get a new copy in 2 weeks else they said it would take months for the process. What a shame, they themselves did not consider the original copy that I had with me since 30 years and I had to bribe them to get a new certified copy.
