@BK Chowla: Sir, I had initially intended to touch upon some 7-8 departmets .. but then it's all the same story. Why waste time repeating the same thing again and again! You are right in saying that we have accepted corruption as a way of life. And this mentality needs to change urgently!

@Mainak: You bet! Even I had no inkling of what was going on in these LPG cylinder delivery circles until I recently came to know the "inside story"!

@Anonymous: Agree with your point about Voters ID card process being unbelievably efficient and smooth. But, I wonder whether there was much money involved there (as opposed to other cases I have mentioned in my post; and BK Chowlaji mentioned in the comment above).

Well I do not buy that completey,that the whole system is corrupt. I was able to get my Voters ID Card in a matter of days and with no hassle from the BBMP office.Point I am trying to make is though we go hammers and tongs the moment we are cheated on our sincere effort of making it through the govt corridors..how often do we pin-up success stories where we have actually been treated well and given the due attention w/o the usual undertable acts..

Pretty much so. Well put.

I had wondering how things seemed to be going so smoothly - no going round in circles.

Now I know the reason :D

It is a remarkable post on remarkable corrupt system.
Kiran,we, the people of India,have by and large accepted corruption a way of life.Why mention a case like Property registration?It is alleged that there is corruption in giving away contracts for cleaning gutters---corruption in fixing street lights----corruption in getting birth certificate-----corruption in getting a death certificate----corruption in purchase of truck tyres for state transport.Is there any department which is free of corruption?None.
One can write thesis on Indian corruption.
