Tax - Tax - Tax : 234A, 234B & 234C




After 14 years, this year I had filed India Tax. Unfortunately I was not aware of Tax Penalties in India, well, basically because of several unforeseen reason, my salary and investments were not linked and also I missed "the date". While I talked to some of my friends/neighbors/family members, it came out that they were also least aware of these 3 tax codes 234A, 234B and 234C. Did not find any News Article either. It was socking for me that, too many well educated and hi-tech earners do not know about these, forget about those day-in-day-outs. 






Guess what I paid a hefty penalty of ~Rs 55,000. Obviously when I first got the estimated sheet, it reminded me:


While filing tax in the US or here in India, I always trusted the professional people as they know little bit better than me, all the time. My tax consultant here shared me this link, and I thought it's worth writing a blog about.

Those days we used to call Thriving-Bengal Days, or more accurately at the tangential top of the inverted-smiley-face curve, if I may call, just before started everything declining. Planned-City-Chittaranjan to Barakar to Asansol, Planned-City-Burnpur to Ranigang to Planned-City-Durgapur - everywhere thriving. Our village is situated about 7kms from Chittaranjan and on /Viswakarma/ puja day we will visit Chittaranjan Locomotive Factory or Hindusthan Cables Factory, because on that day factories used to open for public. Each of the department would perform their own Puja (Kudo's to those dedicated Surveyors, they knew simple ways to compete, and to inspire) and distribute Prasad to all the visitors.  And our enjoyment was to see those biiiig machines, huge belts, super-size fans, mystic Sirens - "Ei dyekh dyekh ei tau baaje-rea, Baba rea oto dhur thyei-ke shyun-te pai". While walking back we would steal some "Roma Suti" from the fields and enjoy the hap

#WorldWaterDay - The Bangalore WATER Crisis

Image
For sometime I wanted to write few lines about Bangalore water crisis. And what better day to write about, other than today, the #WorldWaterDay.  I have a long relationship  with the city. In 90's I lived in the city for 6 years when I was studying in Indian Institute of Science and then my first job here. I loved the city more than any other  Indian city, because of it's people, beauty, weather. Its weather was so good that, we used to call it "The Air Conditioned City", there were so many trees were here that  we used to call this "The Garden City". After living in the US for some years, when I decided to come back, there was only one city that came in my mind, it was Bangalore. Last  3 years I am living here. The city is totally changed in last decade or so. The population has gone up by almost 10 folds since 90's. Everywhere concrete jungle. No space  left for making new roads or plantation. Oh, sorry I am deviating from what I wanted to
