Under Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, the crime of corruption is defined in different parts.
1)"Asking for bribe" by a public servant (Or on behalf of a public servant) is a crime. If the evidence of asking bribe is produced, the court can convict.
2) "Receiving bribe amount" by a public servant (Or on behalf of a public servant) is also a crime.
But even if there is no evidence of "Taking or Receiving Bribe", the conviction can be made by court if "Demand" is proved.
