Supply & Fixing of HSRP on Vehicles by RTO
Today I visited RTO for getting Name Plate fixed on my newly
Add Documentpurchased car. I was asked to buy Rubber Liner for fixing Nameplates properly / decorate by paying Rs. 800/- . Similarly, Rs. 400/- are being charged for supply of rubber liners for fixing Nameplate on Two Wheelers.
Do not understand why it is so? If Liners are required for PROPER FIXING OF HRSP, THEN WHY THE SAME IS NOT RECOMMENDED BY RTO IN THEIR FORMAT & TO PAY ONLINE AS PART OF FEES.
The Answer is very simple, we are highly corrupt & corruption is in our Blood. Liners worth of Rs. 100/- and Rs. 200/- or so for Two Wheelers & Car, are being charged @ Rs. 400/- & Rs. 800/-. As per Govt, RTOs in India have a notoriety of being corrupt and bribing has become an "everyday phenomenon".
One side, Govt is bent upon to minimize / erase requirement of middleman / agent at RTO Offices but on the other side, we are so shrewd & corrupt to create ways to continue with such practices.
One can see, around 500 Vehicles are being sold daily & amount of money being charged for supplying Rubber Liners for fixing of HSRP. Such practice cannot happen & continued without involvement of Officials since it is a WIN-WIN situation for both.
It is high time that concerned Ministry dealing with RTO affairs to get informations / facts from all other RTO Offices & review this & if required to issue white paper for correction in system.
