According to a report published in the English newspaper 'Times of India', the practice of taking bribe money in EMI is becoming very popular. Officials of the Gujarat Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) say that ten such cases have come to light this year alone.

Which cases came up?

In the GST fake billing scam in March, a person was asked to pay a bribe of Rs 21 lakh, in which he had to pay the entire amount to the officials in 10 installments of Rs 2 lakh each and one installment of Rs 1 lakh. This way the accused does not face any trouble and the officials also get the entire bribe money.

Even the farmer was not spared.

On 4th April, a deputy sarpanch in Surat demanded a bribe of Rs. 85,000 to get a villager's field leveled. Seeing his poor financial condition, the accused showed some mercy. They gave the poor man the option of EMI. Accordingly, he was asked to pay Rs. 35,000 upfront and the rest in three installments.

Police absconded with the first installment of the bribe

Two corrupt policemen in Sabarkantha, Gujarat also committed a similar crime. They took a bribe of Rs 4 lakh from a person in Sabarkantha and absconded. The person from whom Rs 4 lakh bribe was taken had to pay a bribe of Rs 10 lakh. This Rs 4 lakh was his first installment.

What the Anti-Corruption Bureau has to say

A senior ACB official said, "A person who is unable to buy a house, car or any valuable thing takes a loan on EMI. Corrupt officials are now adopting the same method for bribes." According to ACB director and DGP (law and order) Shamsher Singh, this could be just a small case as the agency is "only investigating cases that have come to their notice, there could be many such cases which have not come to their notice yet."
