Corruption weakens democracy and hurts the common citizen the most. Our Council works to build a corruption free India by encouraging citizens to say no to bribery, use their legal rights and demand transparency and accountability.
Demanding or accepting a bribe is an offence under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. Citizens should refuse to pay bribes for any service that is their right.
Complaints can be made to the vigilance department of the concerned office, the Anti-Corruption Branch of the State, the Central Vigilance Commission for Central Government employees, or the Lokpal and Lokayuktas.
The Right to Information Act and the CPGRAMS public grievance portal (pgportal.gov.in) are powerful tools to expose delays and irregularities and to get your work done without paying a bribe.
The Whistle Blowers Protection Act, 2014 provides a mechanism to receive complaints of corruption and protect persons making such disclosures.
