On our way to Cox's Bazar we bought normal Shovon Chair Ticket because there were no AC tickets available during the online ticket buying process. At Komlapur Station before the train even took off, the staff ( not the TTE) offered us if we pay 200 BDT per head they can manage AC Snigdha seats for us. We proceeded.

A police officer demanded we pay him to get our passport. I applied for the passport without any dalal.
Went to make new passport, they said my parents NIDs are not visible, but I can see the photocopies are clear, so gave them new copies, then following next day asked for NOC from my job place, so I stopped going there and took help from Dalal (medium) and everything is okay, they sent me to direct photographsy section.
They do not accept application if bribe is not paid and demands documents which are not really needed by law like cabin-nama main copy, they do not allow photocopy of cabin nama even. though for those who paid bribe earlier they didn't ask for any document. I had to pay the bribe in the end and then application was accepted
Lots of documents need to be verified to see if my replacement engine is correct for my car. The verification happens in a specific room. That room officer wants bribe. If not given, they can just disqualify me, saying that a random document is not there.
I had to pay BBA Programmer (transferred) — last month to get my bill approved. She is such a mean character and extortionist.
I took all the required document properly but somehow it was not enough. For my Newborn's Birth Certificate i need to show my fathers holding tax. Even after showing that he kept me waiting for days. then asked for 1000tk. After giving the money, he asked me to come next day. This cycle followed 3times until i finally received the certificate. Baffled how this country is running its civil services.

আমার বাসার মিটারের জন্য ব্যাটারি প্রয়োজন ছিল। এই ব্যাটারিটি ফ্রি হওয়ার কথা ছিল। কিন্তু আমাকে ফ্রি এর বদলে ৩৫০ টাকা দেওয়া প্রয়োজন পড়েছে। এর মধ্যে ২০০ টাকা নিয়েছে ডিপিডিসি অফিসে যার থেকে আমি ব্যাটারিটা কালেক্ট করি। বাকি ১৫০ টাকা পরিশোধ করতে হয়েছে যেই ব্যক্তিটি আমার বাড়িতে এসে মিটারের মধ্যে ব্যাটারি সংযোগ করে দিয়েছে।
They provide a detailed schedule outlining specific times and locations for various areas. People arrived carrying photocopies of all necessary land documents, such as titles, registration papers, and survey deeds, along with cash amounts for bribes. The process was so meticulously organized that it closely resembled an official government procedure, with orderly lines of landowners waiting their turn. By leveraging influence from high-ranking officials, I was able to negotiate and settle the bribery fee at 20,000 BDT. The location of the event is Atti Bazar in Keraniganj, Dhaka district.
I wanted to get my driving licence the right way, but when the system demands ৳12,000, what choice does an ordinary person have?
My US employer demanded a police background check before hiring me for a remote tech job. The procedure was very simple as I could easily apply online. Paid the fine for that too. But a police officer physically came to my address to verify and he was bothered by the fact that why there are so many cctv camera in my garage. Eventually he took me outside the building, and demanded 2000 tk for verification. I said that I already paid the fee. He clearly said, lakh lakh tk uran amake 2000 taka dite gaye lage? Mamla ase likhe dibo report e. I didn't advance the conversation and paid him 1500. Got the clearance within 2-3 days
Normally driving test is a three step examination. First you have to pass the written, then viva then practical to qualify for the test. I successfully passed the written and viva, was confident about my practical too. But in the practical exam line i found lot of people who were also passed in previous written, viva but got failed in practical because of not contacting a dalal. I got nervous but still confident about my driving. They didn’t said anything, in the evening result came out and i was fail. Then i contacted with a dalal and without even driving a car or bike i got passed. I have to gave hime 4000 for just passing in the practical.

Sandi at the land office forced to do it.
Came and threatened to hike up municipality tax almost 20X during assessment. Said we had to pay a small portion of it and they would not assess that way. It was extortion. But not much of a decision, given there was no recourse.
