| Details of Content: | Nil |
| D: My Suggestions | |
| 1. For head of government department: | |
| Suggestion 1: | It should be the attitudinal change of the staff. We can bring in some system control as well, like making online booking of sale registration timings and system should give the date and time when we need to be present for the registration. If the registration does not happen that day, the concerned official needs to send a report to his manager stating the reasons for not registering. An automatic notifcation email also needs to be sent to the person who has applied for the registration stating that he needs to inform the reasons for not making the registration. This could be implemented atleast in the main registration offices in Metros with an otpion for the people to do the registration on system even if it is not in that area. The bribe amount could be made public saying this is the additional charges for doing it online. |
| 2. For the Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) / Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI): | |
| Suggestion 1: | They could probaby make surprise visits to the registrar office and directly speak to the parties to the transaction and also check the cash with the Registrar /other officers in the department and ask for the source of the same. If there are lot of deviations, surprise checks need to be increased and the type of checking also needs to be changed, i.e from coming as officers, CBI could come as a local person willing to make the registration and then getting all the details. The bribe does not stop here. After registration, comes the documentation and other title transfers like EB transfer/name change, Khatha name change/transfer, water connection name change/transfer etc….everywehere there is corruption involved. |
| 3. For other citizens: | |
| Suggestion 1: | Why should citizens be advised to resist from offering a bribe? If people cannot stop asking, atleast people should stop paying. In a lighter note, we need to get a receipt from the official that he/she has received an amount as bribe. Only then pay the bribe. Then publish in the newspapaer the next day (I am sure the daily newspapars will become a magazine book with all these publications) |
| E: I am not ready to reveal contact details because | |
| I fear my life which is more valuable than anything to my loved ones (not to me though). | |
