this video says that a police constable, with whatever salary he gets, gets a 100 Rupee increment in 12 years, and 200 rupee increment in 17 years...

lets do a small calculation. at my last work place my increment was around 50% (i think) and I got around 2-3 lakh increment a year, in 2 years of work. on 100 rupee after 12 years makes 1200 bucks extra after 12 years.

are you serious??? i think we spend that much in 2 weeks on fun and movies!!! no wonder there is corruption in indian police. Guys is that the salary/compensation structure of Indian police?

if with this salary these people are corrupt, i think it is justified. I might just give these guys an extra 100 bucks next time they catch me...

I can understand that a poor salary structure can be a cause... But corruption is deeper embedded that that... Even well paid public sector employees accept, or rather demand a bribe. It is in the system. Even if you increase salaries, corruption will most likely not go down, unless some measures are taken to check 'corruption'. What is needed is a targeted approach like correction in salary structures, appropriate recognition for good work, growth and punishment for accepting bribe / doing anything unlawful.

just as a thought, one of my indian professors here says that a few generations have to die out in india for a change to take place in the 'system'...
