Bribing someone means to exchange cash, material or goods in return for a favor that is otherwise hard to attain. Bribery is an illegal action which leads to corruption. In India, offering and accepting a bribe is a common trend from past many years.
The most vital cause of corruption especially in India is the never-ending chain of bribes that are offered and accepted throughout the country.
What should one do if he/she is asked for a bribe?
1. File a complaint in anti-corruption bureau: You can file an online complaint on CENTRAL VIGILANCE COMMISSION (http://www.cvc.nic.in).
2. Fill forms online on registered websites: In most of the government institutions (like passport and driving license authorities) bribing practice is common. Therefore, these institutions have launched form filling services which save you from evil bribe practices.
3. Complain to higher officials: Most of the time clerks and other junior blame their seniors for demanding the bribe. Sometimes it’s not true. You can complain to higher authorities of the institution or either warn them to that u will take this matter to their seniors.
4. SAY NO: Say NO when you are asked for a bribe. Be it a subtle indication or a direct demand.
5. Collect evidence: You can record video or audio of an officer asking you for the bribe as an evidence and can submit them to Central vigilance commission.
Ignorance of people adds fuel to this malicious practice.
KEEP ABOVE MENTION POINT IN MIND. Cooperate with anti-corruption bureau.
