@theskindoctor13 Nothing will happen.. Bribe goes to politicians, judges, police and then everything will be settled in a few days..For formality they will arrest (I would be surprised if this would happen) and suspend few officials who will get bail in some time
Extremely disappointed with the service support from @hitachihomeID My AC has been malfunctioning for weeks with a recurring noise issue. I have paid for repairs twice (13th/14th May, and subsequently) based on the technician's diagnosis of a "rotator" issue, yet the problem
persists.
Despite multiple breakdown requests and assurances that senior technicians would visit, no one has shown up. I am being charged repeatedly for ineffective "fixes" while my family is left suffering in this heat.
@Gurdayal_1984 क्योंकि आम आदमी की जिंदगी की भारत में कोई औकात नहीं है। सिस्टम और प्रशासन के लिए आम आदमी एक कीड़ा है जिसको कोई भी कभी भी मसल सकता है। कोई भविष्य नहीं है इस देश में ईमानदार टैक्स पेयर आम आदमी का।
It is painful to see India face the adverse consequences of a war we have nothing to do with, particularly because of raw material security. We don’t have to import 90% of our oil, or 95% of our copper or 99.5% of our gold or any other metal resources. Mother Earth has given us the best geology. Last 40 years of practice in the minerals, metals and oil industry have taught me this. Now is the time, with this positive government, to give entrepreneurs freedom.
At just 19, I came to Bombay from Bihar and built a company in this industry from scratch. Vedanta was able to acquire Hindustan Zinc and BALCO under a privatisation programme which was never completed. 26% and 49% stakes are still held by the government and not been transferred as per a predetermined agreement. Vedanta also acquired ONGC Oil and Gas asset via UK’s Cairn and Sesa Goa Iron ore from Japan’s Mitsui.
In each one, the ambition and goal was to increase the production so much that India wouldn’t need to import but, in fact export. In Hindustan Zinc and BALCO, we succeeded. We increased zinc production 10 times, 20 times in aluminium. In the process, more than 1,000 companies have come up for processing this raw material. And Vedanta has contributed Rs 4.5 lakh crore to the exchequer in the last ten years. In oil and gas, our vision is to produce 1 million barrels per day. In iron ore, my vision is to produce 100 million tonnes, 33% of today’s production level. There are many more underperforming government assets that can perform the same way.
Three or four decades ago, there was no know-how, no experts, no finance in this industry. It took a lot of determination. Vedanta raised 35 billion USD from abroad and invested in India. It brought experts and technology. Because of that, Hindustan Zinc can also produce silver and fertiliser, and we are working very hard to start producing critical minerals very soon, something we were told would never happen in India.
Globally, only few very large companies engage in mining as it is very difficult without scale. Vedanta should be for India what Rio Tinto and BHP are for Australia or Vale is for Brazil. Other entrepreneurs and companies must create new Vedantas.
Most of the advanced countries have become prosperous by developing natural resources, including oil and gas. In India, the system has to stop creating hurdles. It needs to take a long-term view, as this government is not revenue-minded but, production-minded. It must facilitate. Instead of notices and judicial activity, all businesses need to receive recognition and respect. Benefit of doubt should pass onto them.
In India, we have economic heroes who can raise production equal to the biggest and best in the world. We should not allow tunnel vision or outdated mindset to keep us small and dependent. Some may remember the case of Rio Tinto which had invested in a diamond mine in Madhya Pradesh. It could have made India a global hub for diamond production, but they exited because of a complex, interfering and discouraging system.
The most important thing is trust. Keep the system simple, keep regulation limited and you eliminate the root cause of wrongdoing. We should have self-certification instead of lengthy approvals and clearances. The Government issues the rulebook and entrepreneurs strictly comply, subject to audit. Constant enquiry and interference only discourage enterprise. Also, the mindset of discrimination between public sector and private sector should change.
This year my family had the biggest tragedy. It was heartening to hear the words of the Prime Minister who said, “You must stay strong and continue to do work which is important for India.” That is the motivation of my life. I have the blessings of my grandfather and grandmother, who spent 40 years in Vrindavan in a small hut, in Manav Seva Sangh with their guruji, Swami Sharnanand Ji Maharaj. They always advised me, if you have wealth, you must use it for society. If you don’t have wealth, you must always help society with your hand. We all are willing to work hard, take risks and ensure that India becomes self-sufficient. The system should encourage us to deliver for our society and nation; this will eradicate unemployment and encourage women empowerment. This sector has given the maximum revenue to the exchequer in India and in the world for nation-building. It will help in making our country a developed nation, as envisioned by our Prime Minister. Let’s make India & Indians proud.
Why is India not a tourism superpower ?
1. Unsafe roads, no pavements, stray animals
2. Dirt, garbage, and lack of hygiene
3. Petty corruption
4. Traffic chaos
5. Poor global branding and perception management
6. Tourism stuck in state-level red tape
7. Pollution
8. No proper city or tourist site infrastructure
9. Inconsistent service standards
10.Biggest of all- lack of civic sense
We have everything- mountains, deserts, beaches, history, spirituality. Yet Malaysia, Turkey, Singapore, Thailand and even the UAE attract more tourists each year than we do.
So the issue isn’t what we have. It’s how we manage it.
Potential is not our problem. Execution is. 🇮🇳
@DrNikhilMD Leave this country, if this madness continues and settle where you earn respect and money based on your calibre, not on the basis of your caste and don't give me bullshit like fix your country first despite all odds.

India Tax Probe Uncovers ₹70,000 Crore Hidden Restaurant Sales
India's Income Tax department analyzed data from a major billing software used by over 100,000 restaurants, uncovering at least ₹70,000 crore in suppressed sales through tactics like deleting cash invoices and under-reporting. The probe, using AI and big data on six years of records showing ₹2.43 lakh crore in total billing, flagged patterns across states with Karnataka, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu leading deletions. Officials call it just the beginning, praising the tech-driven approach while skeptics question AI reliability and note common industry practices—no penalties issued yet as liabilities are calculated.
This software is used by 10% restaurants, around 27% of sales were potentially the extent of under-reporting.
Extrapolating the number, this could be a Rs 700,000 crore under-reporting.
This is a much needed move.
The 2 crore odd of us who pay income taxes are bearing an inordinately high burden.
Widen the tax next and increase compliance, rather than taxing the salaried and compliant on all fronts.
There should be deterrent punishment for such tax evaders .
