While traveling in a Delhi-registered commercial taxi from Delhi to an adjacent city (another State), your taxi driver informs you that as he has no permit for running the taxi in that city, he will stop at its Transport Office and pay the prescribed fee of Rs. 40 for a day. While paying the fee at the counter, you find that the transport clerk is taking an extra Rs. 50 for which no receipt is being given. You are in a hurry for your meeting. In such circumstances, what would you do?

Select an option to attempt

Explanation

NOTE: Official UPSC answer key has considered both A and C as correct.

In general, both A and C are appropriate depending on the circumstances:

A takes a more immediate, direct approach, addressing the clerk's action on the spot. C allows for a more formal and cautious response by reporting the issue to authorities later. If you're in a hurry, C might be more practical, but if you feel it's necessary to address the wrong immediately, A is also correct.
