But never for last 9 years.

That is surest way to solve the problem.

I have many times got a receipt for the offence..but not for the actual violation itself! 

I have been fined 100 Rs which is actually for signal jump..for an expired emmission certificate!

So have I !

This was some five years ago when a cop had followed me to commercial street from cubbon rd & had demanded a fine since I had turned right on to kamraj rd when right turns were not allowed. This was correct & I had realized the error only after the turn.

I stated that I would pay the fine, but needed a receipt, for which he had stated that he would bring it from near BRV where other cop/s were stationed & had receipt book/s.

I then told him that I would go over to BRV & pay the fine, which made him furious - he began threatening me & said that he would book me for refusing to pay the 'fine'. Finally, I paid 200 rs. & asked him for the receipt again. He had pocketed the money & disappeared, promising to be back, but had not returned. I then went past BRV when returning & found no cops there at all, save for a lone constable at the signals !

but not in the last 3 years :)
