People often say that SBI employees have a "settled life."
But the salary slip of this Scale 3 Manager tells a different story.
Eight years ago, he joined the State Bank of India as a Probationary Officer.
Today, he is a Scale 3 Manager, and his Form 16 for FY 2025–26 shows a gross salary of ₹35.24 lakh.
At first, that amount looks very impressive.
However, the gross salary also includes one-time payments like LFC Encashment and Leave Encashment, which are received only once every four years and are not part of the regular monthly salary.
Apart from that, there are deductions every month for Income Tax, NPS, EPF, Home Loan EMI, Car Loan, and Two-Wheeler Loan.
Because of this, the amount shown as the gross salary in Form 16 can be much higher than the actual salary credited to the bank account each month.
Do you think people often judge the earnings of government bank officers just by looking at their gross salary?

PERSONAL NOTE: Travelled from Mumbai airport to Churchgate on Aqua Line: just a super duper experience, clean, efficient and convenient. Have often been critical of city infrastructure but on this one, think all those involved deserve five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ @Dev_Fadnavis@AshwiniBhide@MumbaiMetro3@mieknathshinde (minor quibble: road from airport terminal to metro station needs to be cleaned up). (On a separate note: today is the 20th anniversary of the Mumbai suburban train blasts. Thoughts and prayers with the victim families🙏)
Reserve Bank of India have invited tenders worth approx ₹2500 crore for major works in Mumbai

🚨 MUMBAI’S WATER METRO MEGA PLAN
33 routes. 44 terminals. 340 km.
The ₹6,066 crore Water Metro aims to serve 7.5 crore passenger trips annually by 2031.
CM Devendra Fadnavis praised Nitesh Rane for driving the project.
Most Indian cities remain ugly because too many Indians have a beggar mindset.
The moment a road-widening or redevelopment project starts, they rush to save every pathetic, crumbling shop.
Then the same people post photos of Paris and ask why India can't look like Europe.

Observation #4:
Singapore's skywalks serve a very different purpose from the ones we're used to in Mumbai.
In Mumbai, skywalks are often long, enclosed structures that take people from railway or metro stations to destinations hundreds of metres away. They function almost like alternative streets in the sky.
In Singapore, they're much simpler. Most buildings have publicly accessible walk-through plazas or retail spaces at ground level, with short skywalks connecting one building to another. Instead of long corridors, they form links in a much larger pedestrian network.
The experience is completely different. You're constantly moving between buildings, open spaces, plazas and landscaped areas, making the journey feel shorter and far more pleasant.
Another thing that stands out is how well they're maintained. The skywalks are clean, litter-free and free of the grime and spit stains often seen on similar infrastructure here. Strong enforcement and regular maintenance make a noticeable difference.
Almost every skywalk is lined with greenery, providing shade, protection from wind and rain, and making the walk feel far less sterile. The bridges themselves are sleek, lightweight and minimal.
These links connect metro stations to offices, housing complexes, shopping centres and buildings across busy roads, creating a seamless pedestrian network that makes walking effortless.

A section of a bridge in Nanded, Maharashtra, collapsed today. It raises serious questions about the quality standards being followed in the state’s infrastructure projects.
Please refrain from retweeting or sharing the video. Apparently, highlighting such incidents is considered “defaming” Maharashtra.
