That point is subjective. Now, this anecdote is from almost 30 years ago and pretty sure things have changed. But when I went to get my India DL you can go directly to the RTO or you go thru a “driving school”. I went thru the school - why? Because they grease the skids to get the DL. Did I bribe? No. Does the school share “profits” - I’m pretty sure they do.

So like everything else with the government in India, if you’re using agents to get your work done you’re technically not bribing. But you are.
