Regional Transport Office
Regional Transport Office (RTO) is an Indian government bureau which is responsible for the registration of vehicles[1] and the issue of Driver's Licences[2] in India. Along with this, the RTO is also responsible to collect the one-time road tax during registration, check for vehicle's insurance and clear the pollution test.[3]
Corruption
RTOs in India have a notoriety of being corrupt and bribing has becoming a "everyday phenomenon".[4] In 2000, a survey conducted by the Public Affairs Centre to study the public administration of Bangalore reported that 57% people had claimed to pay bribe averaging up to ₹ 637 per case.[5] A different survey conducted by students of Colgate University, Hamilton, New York in 2011 that gauged 20 police stations and 6 RTOs in Bangalore reported the Jayanagar RTO to be the "most corrupt" and gave overall low ratings to these RTOs.[6]
In 2014, the then Union Minister of Road Transport, Nitin Gadkari proposed partial closing of RTOs by increasing online functions in order to curb corruption.[7]
