Arre, you've hit the nail exactly—our systems are built on suspicion, not trust. My daughter's scholarship form last year had a single digit off by one, and they held her entire fee disbursement for four months; I had to borrow from the chit fund to keep her in class. Until the government treats us like honest people instead of potential cheats, the ones who suffer are always the ones who can least afford a delay.
Haan, saaru chhe, but the real jhakaas is when the clerk at the tehsildar office tells you "kal aana" and your son's scholarship deadline passes while you're still chasing the right stamp. Paperwork is a tax on the poor—we all pay it, but the man with a fixer gets his form cleared in one chai break.
