Thanks for highlighting IDES difficulties
We are thankful to you for highlighting unimaginable difficulties faced
by IDES. I want to convey my request to Ministry of Defence through this
website that please enquire why promotions are extra-ordinarily delayed
in Indian Defence Estates Service in particular ? Senior Officers sitting
in Directorate General of Defence Estates should be fixed for delaying
even holding DPCs which is causing frustrations in the minds of officers.

Promotion to SAG: a nightmare to Specialist CGHS Doctors:
For Specialist doctors working in CGHS getting promotion to SAG is next
to impossible. These doctors gets in to services either after MD/MS or
DM/MCH with minimum 3 years experience. It means around 6 yrs (MBBS) +
3 Years (MD) + 3 years (DM) + 3 years experience makes it 15 years to
get into the service. Since weightage is given to experience and minimum
3 years are actually 7-8 years for general candidates. Going by this one
gets in to the service after 35~40 years of age. They have only 20 to
25 years of government service. Though government has increased the age
of specialist doctors by 2 years, but very few specialist doctors could
get SAG promotions. Even those who gets it; there is no incentive or facilities
meant for Joint Secretaries level officer other than SAG scale. So government
should either increase SAG level posts or make it time bound.

Corruption and Pay Commission
Pay Commission has recommended good salaries. However there is nothing
wrong in accepting still more enhancement by the government. But there
should be zero percent tolerance for corruption which is eating away major
chunk of resources.
There should be very speedy and exemplary punishments to the erring employees
P K Kushal
Have an article
It would be better if you enter an article on the Pay Commission where
latest developments may be displayed. It may also have one blog where
People's views, say and guessing may be displayed separately.

E-filing system need debugging
While the e-filing system is certainly an important step, my own experience
is that the system needs some further debugging. I attempted to prepare
and file e-returns for AY 2008-09 on 30 and 31 July thru the website.
Here are some of the problems I encountered:
1. The return form in excel (e.g. ITR1, ITR2) become write-protected as
soon as you save it, i.e. even before you have attempted to file it. In
case your form is incomplete (or you need to make a correction) you have
to start afresh.
2. The tax calculator gives different results at different times with
the same data. Moreover, its output is titled: "net tax", while
there is no such term in the ITRs. You waste time trying to find the entry
in the ITR form to which it relates.
3. The connection to the Bank's portal (in my case, SBI), gives a message
denying access, even after verification of personal particulars (e.g.
PAN, name, etc., as well as id and password). However, the Bank's portal,
if directly accessed at the same time (i.e. without going thru the income
tax website) works just fine.
I make these comments not by way of criticism, but to help the income
tax authorities to further improve the system.

efiling IT returns
It is a welcome step in the right direction but for God's sake make it
user friendly. What is this deductions under Chapter V or sec 80 ccc or
98 ggg? Kindly spare us simple folks the torture of attempting to decodify
these enigmas and use simple language instead. It is now more than 40
years that I have been filing my IT returns but not even once without
taking help of friends and colleagues, even though all that I have earned
so far is income from salary and something called interest from bank--both
subject to TDS.
My question is why can't the IT return be simple enough to include these
two incomes and go on giving eligible deductions, without mentioning the
section or chapter but description such as insurance/GPF/PPF etc and calculate
the tax with the help of software. Believe me, yesterday was a very cruel
day for me to file my e-Return and I was confounded no ends later when
one worthy said I have paid more tax than was due since I have paid tax
on TDS deducted by the bank in my calculations. The only satisfaction
is that I am on the right side of the law, even though it has cost me
dear. Hope the assessing officer will do his/her duty!

Thanks to Bihar CM
The Bihar CM deserves to be complimented for having picked up yet another
distinguished officer for the post of DGP. He may like to ensure that
most of the DMs and SPs are also of similar stature. Bihar has to be pulled
out of the morass of misrule and neglect and only a committed and honest
bureaucracy can ensure that. Wish the CM all the best in his endeavours.
Please address the power problem on priority, dear CM and make the roads
of Bihar as soft as... you know what !
