Classification of Gratification:
Gratification can be broadly classified as monetary or non-monetary benefits given or received with the intent to influence a public officer in the discharge of their duties.

1. Monetary Gratification: This refers to any form of money, whether in cash or kind, given to influence the decision or actions of a public officer.
   Examples:
   • A public officer accepting a sum of money to award a government contract to a specific bidder.
   • A businessperson paying a bribe to expedite the processing of a government license.
2. Non-Monetary Gratification: This includes any other form of benefit that is not directly monetary but still influences an official’s decisions.
   Examples:
   • Offering an expensive gift, such as a car or property, to a public officer to gain favor.
   • Promising future employment or business opportunities to a public officer in exchange for a favorable ruling or decision.
