Good job by Income-Tax Department
I think the Income-tax Department has done a very good job in implementing complusory e-filing of returns for corporates and most of the firms. This has been very much appreciated by the return filers. Even for those categories of taxpayers where e-filing was not complusory, there has been a very good response and many taxpayers have submitted their IT return electronically. All this has been made possible by the dedicated and commitment shown by the team in income-tax department which worked for its implementation. The silver award won by them is a testimony for this.
Kudos and well done. Keep it up. You truly deserved it.

Pioneer was in Nithari

When we condemn the kidney surgeons we should not forget the pioneering work done in this field by Pandher of Nathari. Noida. He not only removed kidneys without the owners permission but also their livers. In fact in Britain it was openly said that if you wanted to buy cheap kidneys and livers you should go to India. Why are the authorities so coy about nailing Pandher? Is it because some high up police officers and IAS officers and young politicians of Haryana ,Punjab and Delhi used to feast on human flesh? AND ALL OF THEM TOGETHER USED TO SING IN CHORUS AT PANDHERS DINNER PARTIES , FOR HE IS A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW?

Congress wants to woo Aam Aadmi back again!!!!
Adulations on Aam Aadmi its going to rain!!!

Diggy is heading a team that is working on a plan how to woo Ama Aadmi back!!!
And as usual the first step will be that Congress BJP ko karre gi attack!!!

Look closely and on the Aam Aadmi's cheek you can see a slap mark!!
Just a few months back Congress's Hand ne kiya slap on Aam Aadmi's cheek park!!!

Hope Aam Aadmi realizes that this new bout of love is just temporary love!!!
When elections are over Aam Aadmi ko back into the bin Congress karre gi shove!!!

When Congressis come Aam Admi should show the slap mark of the Hand on his gaal!
And tell Congressis 'samajh gaya hai Aam Admi Congress ki chaal'!!!

Maybe now Rahul will end up spending in an Aam Aadmi's home a raat!!!
To show that Congress hai Aam Aadmi ke saath!!!

And after spending the night he'll go parachuting and then to Cheen!!!!
Congressis will bajao ' our Rahul is very caring' been (flute)!!!

In WB this is a dangerous times to have egg on the face!!!
From its Ally Sarkaar bandh karr rahi hai face!!!

Forward Block called a Bandh to protest death of its workers in Police goli - baazi!!!
And bandh is to show against the Sarkaar their naraazi!!!

Maharashtra Government has asked UP to confirm if Big B is a kisan???
Amar Singh se yeh nai hoyegaa ye sawaal sahaan!!!

He's going to go hammer and tongs after Congress!!
For Deshmukh's resignation he may press!!!

He'll say 'How dare Maharashtra question Big B's claim'????
And Maya ko bhi karre ga blame!!!

A lot is at stake as Big B's land in Maharashtra is now worth a pretty packet!!!
And that's why Amar is creating such a racket!!!

Seems Maya's got a flop Bollywood scriptwriter to pen her speeches!!!
'If I'm killed don't forgive Congress' from the podium she screeches!!

This is her way of demanding SPG cover!!!!
She wants SPG cover around her to hover!!

Bullet proof BMW car pe bhi hai Maya ki nazar or eye!!!
Bollywood style she'll ask 'Dalit ke beti ko kyon nahi mill sakthi BMW….why …why'?

Amar is getting his team ready for Rahul's APL…. team's name is Amar Stealers!!
A genuine spelling mistake as it should have been Amar Steelers!!

Rahul should mobilize pro Congress film-stars for the APL tourney!!!
Everyday during the matches at least one Bollywood Star to Amethi will journey!!!

The slogan will be……. Khelo Amehti Khelo!!!
Two months ke liye majaa lehlo!!!

'Forget your water, bijli, employment, farming etc., worries' will be the punch line!!!
And once matches are over go and stand in paani, bijli , kaam etc., ki line!!!

Laloo's cricketing son too is cobbling up a team for Rahul's APL!!!!!
And will be reaching Amethi soon for Amethi Premiere League or APL!!!

He's recovered from the thrashing he got during the New Year's eve!!!
When he with his brother tried to chedho or tease an eve!!

He's learned a lesson and now is always helmeted, padded and gloved!!!
Ever ready if because of his bad habits into an awkward situation he's shoved!!!

Confucius says….. Sons do have traits of their Dads…some less and some more!!!
And at the given time the traits come to the fore!!!

All the data will be stored at the Centre to help the customers to be in touch with their day-to-day status. He also announced new Direct Agency Scheme.
