@IncomeTaxIndia My mother is 60+. An honest taxpayer for years. Zero major deductions. Every rupee already verified digitally by your own systems.

And yet — a Sec 142(1) notice, 2 weeks to respond, or else.

This isn't scrutiny. It's harassment of senior citizens who did nothing wrong.

@IncomeTaxIndia @FinMinIndia @nsitharamanoffc — are notices being issued by officers to reach numerical targets, not evidence?

Even the toughest years of Indian tax administration weren't this heartless to honest citizens.

RT if you are being a honest tax payer & are facing un necessary harassment or delays from @IncomeTaxIndia especially since the last two years.

@GuruShareMarket Which news report claims that Toyota has filed an FIR?Why will Toyota file a FIR against its own customer when they claimed, issue could be due to adultrated fuel.
Except from Nithin Gadkari’s own FIR claims in an event, there is no other mention by any reliable media outlet !!

@SaffronSting People should not pray or celebrate anyone’s downfall…So you are the one among who believe a influencers lifestyle on IG is always true…great going!!

@TyrantOppressor He is an habbitual offender, ready to do anything for such content.
He is the cringest guys ever, don’t give him attention, his passport needs to be confiscated by the Indian government for his previous acts. Handful of tourists like him are enough for the world to hate Indians.

@WeekendInvestng May be your hypothetical friend in the cooked up story gave you some wrong info. There is no tax on NRE deposits, it’s free from all taxes.

You can cook up stories in a better way, major issue for NRI’s is the high capital gain tax on NRE PIS accounts, used to trade equities.

@vasantshetty81 You are doing an extremely great job in recognizing genuine Kannada innovators.

Especially in times like this, where our P.R driven media hyped frauds like Drone Prathap only to get a facepalm.

Hope our mainstream media learns lessons from you @AsianetNewsSN @tv9kannada .

Such a cheap advertisement from a cheap influencer in a dirt-cheap location. Even Dubai valet parking pulls in more revenue than this sad mall 😂

I picked my side, what about you!?

Silence is not neutral

@IndembAbuDhabi Great job @IndembAbuDhabi .
Connecting people, listening any issues faced by Indian citizens, are proactive efforts.
Open houses like this are a great step addressing concerns of all common Indian citizens abroad, without any discrimination.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Remembering the innocent lives lost in the gruesome Pahalgam terror attack on this day last year. They will never be forgotten. My thoughts are also with the bereaved families as they cope with this loss.

As a nation, we stand united in grief and resolve. India will never bow to any form of terror. The heinous designs of terrorists will never succeed.

On one side of the Hormuz, the UAE shines in multiple sectors and leads as a beacon in the middle east, taking care of its people in the best possible way, attracting global talent.

On the other side Iranian leadership attacks its neighbors, executes its citizens, the country faces hyper inflation, and economic chaos. Just because of the IRGC’s destructive approach to build missiles & bombs, over the welfare of Iranian people.

On the right: a great Arab Muslim leader who used his nation’s wealth to advance modernity and prosperity for all.

On the left: a fanatic leader who used his nation’s wealth to wage apocalyptic wars, didn’t care for his people and ultimately lost those wars.

Two Middle Easts.

[Elston @ele_tweets]

We know how @MEAIndia mission’s abroad behave. One classic example is @IndembAbuDhabi, instead of helping stranded Indian tourists, during the recent middle east situation.
They saw the opportunity to boost their PR & conducted meetings with ‘food influencers’ to brief them about the west asia crisis, a move which was condemned by many online.
No sane embassy on earth would brief ‘food influencers’, instead of helping stranded tourists, who were raising multiple requests on X.
I don’t understand on what basis did @IndembAbuDhabi do such a blunder, it wasn’t organizing a food fest, during the crisis.
Were these food influancers more important than honest tax paying tourists?
@MEAIndia is known to discriminate Indians & does not know anything apart from PR.

Thankfully the UAE government showed great humanitarian gesture & helped tourists with food & accomodation in Abudhabi.

Below are the recommendations for the best Biryani’s in Dubai:

Jaffeer Bhai’s - Mumbai Style

Calicut Paragon - Kerala Style

Erode Amman Mess - Tamil Style

Peshwa - Maharashtrian Style

Manvaar - Rajasthani Style

Tunday Kababi - Lucknowi Style

SS Bucket Biryani & Pak Liyari - Distinct Masala blends.

Emirates Sea/ Rang/ Gazebo - These three restaurants have Indian style biryanis catering Emirati taste buds, many Emiratis whom I have dined with, love this option.

[Majed @971AlSaadi]

The Indian presence in the UAE is not a footnote, it is part of the foundation.

Long before oil reshaped the region, Indian traders from Gujarat and Kerala moved through Gulf ports, building trust, commerce, and continuity across the Arabian Sea.

When the transformation came

it was..

Indian hands that helped raise the skylines, Indian minds that kept systems running
Indian resilience that filled the gaps of a rapidly growing nation

Over time they did not remain on the margins. They moved into every layer of society, building businesses, leading industries, teaching, healing, and creating. Today

the Indian community is not just present in the UAE, it is woven into its identity, a driving force behind its growth and a living testament to how two histories, when aligned, can build something far greater than either could alone

So yes i choose THEM over OTHERS

JAI HIND 🇮🇳

The embassy is here to cater Indian nationals, many of us who are honestly paying taxes in India too, & not just to random food influancers.

Even though the UAE government does not charge any income tax. They did so much, UAE even gave free accomodation & food to stranded tourists, in Abudhabi, during the recent situation in March.

The Indian embassy instead of helping the stranded Indian tourists, many who had put up requests here, was seen conducting online meeting with ‘food’ influencers. Does the ambassador assume 4.5 million Indian residents are here to follow & trust these random food influancers, on serious topics? Or was this to boost the embassy’s PR game?

One food influencer even claimed on his Instagram reel, that he received a call from the ambassador, to appraise about the situation. He even claimed if the requests to the embassy are urgent & if the requests dont go through, people can contact him.

On what capacity & basis are these random food influencers given so much access to the Indian embassy, over honest tax paying Indian citizens?

On what basis does the ambassador apprise random food influencers on serious topics like the Middle east situation that happened in March? Instead of addressing the Indian community directly, through webinars and official channels, & helping the stranded tourists.

Indian residents have more trust on the UAE government than the Indian Embassy. During the recent situation we had no panic, due to the proactive approach of the UAE government, which was clear in its communications, used only official channels, supported tourists, treated everyone as equals, prioritized & ensured everyone’s safety.

The Indian embassy has to learn positive lessons on how the UAE government, which managed the recent situation so well, gaining trust & respect.
