CBDT and filing of ITRs

Form ITRs 3,4,5,6 and 7 have been uploaded on IT web site in PDF format without fillable version. It means returns cannot be filed and last date is August 31, 2015 for FY 2014-15. Government is not bothered to extend date knowing well the returns cannot be filed if fillable form is uploaded even to-day. Why CBDT fails in taking action in time to avoid last time rush? It is requested that CBDT extends the time.

"Is Parliament democracy a waste of time?"

I fully endorse the views of AK Saxena (whispers: 08 Aug 2015). We have been watching many News channel discussions on this subject. Neither is the opposition budging, nor the Government. But what is the solution? Please read my post "Adjournment of business in Parliament" in whispers on 07 Aug, 2015. While I appreciated the action taken by Speaker in the Lok Sabha, I suggested that a similar action should also be taken in Rajya Sabha.

If this disturbance is continued from Monday again in both Houses, I will suggest that the Chairman, Rajya Sabha and the Speaker, Lok Sabha should suspend all those MPs who were creating disturbances from the respective Houses till the end of the Session and the Government should continue with regular business of the Houses and pass the pending legislations. This action has become very necessary to teach the opposition a lesson and would provide the ruling party a stick to beat the opposition with.

Congrats

Congratulations to all CSS officers on their appointment as Joint Secretary.

Pro-criminal sentiments

Prakash wants to generalize one incident in Punjab. It is typical of the anti-police and pro-criminal sentiment of even the educated. Very unfortunate.

Monsoon session -complete washout

Monsoon session of the Parliament is going to be a complete washout. It is really shameful that our Members of Parliament are spending all their energy on shouting, sloganeering, calling names, protesting too much instead of paying heed to the needs of the people. There is so much misery around. There are floods in many parts of the country. So many people have died .Instead of debating the need for succour there we are hooked to some simple issues. The irony is that the party which is making so much noise about ethics and morality had been the most unethical during their time. There is a long list of their misdemeanours. Letting Q run away with a large amount of bribe money is only one of these.
