Dear Reader,
Most of us has either applied or will apply for Learner Licence or Driving Licence. We know that the RTO offices' official are so rude and inefficient that no one wishes to apply for a DL directly. We look out for a broker. The broker charge extra from us in order to get our work done and bribe the officials.To prevent this inconvenience faced by citizens, UP government launched a on-line portal for taking appointments at RTO offices for LL/DL. The portal URL is:
http://upscdl.up.nic.in/Time_Slot/TimeSlotBooking.aspx
This facility is available in ARTO Noida, RTO : Aligarh, Lucknow, Kanpur, Allahabad, Varanasi, Agra, Ghaziabad.
Someone also applied for on-line appointment in RTO Varanasi for LL in previous month. He went along with my elder cousin brother. The things that happened at RTO office is listed beloow in points:
1. A group of brokers surrounded him each promising to get his work done in just a minute.
2. He went to take form from the counter. But they said you will have to purchase it from outside.
3. He then enquired from one of my cousin what to do next. He said lets talk to the broker.
4. He discussed the charge of getting the work done with the broker.
5. He said that he will charge Rs 200 extra. He also added the appointment that he had taken is useless because the officials don't find it as a source of income.
6. He brought all the forms and directed him to fill it.
7. He then filled the form and gave the money he demanded.
8. The broker then called him for Biometric Scan in the prescribed room.
9. He went there. His photo and finger print was taken. He also gave my signature there.
10. Then the broker handed him a receipt saying that his registration is complete and his LL wil be delivered at my home via post.
11. His LL arrived at my home after 15 days.
So, you see that despite having an appointment, He had to give the bribe. So the next time he went for DL, he didn't took any appointment just gave 500 rs extra to the broker.
Now he has DL for even four-wheeler.This is UP!
