Encouraging awareness

It is encouraging to know that new CBDT Chairman is aware that figure of 42800 whose taxable income is more than 1 crore is not correct and also only 3% of population paying income tax. Then what is remedy ? Think and work it out but remove impediments from the tax laws and make it more simpler and user friendly. ITR-1 (SAHAJ) cannot be filled who have tax exempt income more than 5000/. Is it not absurd to put such condition thru latest 2013 notification. What is this idea? At least more than 2o types of income and allowances and SB interest are tax exempt then why people are being deprived to file simple return form whose income is thru salary/pension and interest/dividend only. Chairman CBDT should think and workout a solution for simplicity.

A Kumar

Now wise decision

The thought of Delhi Chief Minister regarding increase of retirement age of Teachers community from 62 to 65 is not worthy for the generations to come in teaching fraternity. We are ignoring the young talent having multiple technology thoughts with them to deny employment opportunities as compared to old horses, those are not energetic and without modern technology thoughts. Opportunities may be opened up to new talents without increasing the retirement age of the
employees either in Central/State governments and/or Public Sector undertakings.

Abehy Anand

Stupid notion

It is a stupid notion that increase in retirement age will take away the chance of young talents. If that is the case then the retirement age should be bring down to 35-40 so that more and more young talents get the chance.
