@IncomeTaxIndia I am still unable to download Form 132 for a TDS amount which I deposited on 8th April. Multiple calls to the TDSCPC helpdesk and multiple emails have not helped.
@IncomeTaxIndia@IncomeTaxIndia the subject line is "Form 132". Timestamp - Sat, May 30, 2026 at 12:52 pm. Mail sent from [email protected]
This was the 3rd mail I sent on the same subject. The timestamps for the previous two emails:

This is a monarch butterfly migration arriving in the oyamel fir forests of central Mexico. None of these butterflies has ever been here before.
Their great-great-grandmothers left this exact grove in March. By July those grandmothers were dead. The butterflies you're watching are four to five generations downstream, born somewhere between Texas and Ontario, and they just flew up to 3,000 miles to a tree none of their parents ever saw.
The brain doing the navigation is smaller than a grain of rice.
The mechanism is a sun compass time-compensated by a circadian clock running in the antennae. Cut the antennae and the monarch loses orientation within hours. The clock corrects for the sun's position drifting across the sky as the day moves. Add iron-bearing magnetite particles for magnetic field detection on cloudy days, and a 0.5 gram insect is running redundant inertial guidance.
The destination is more specific than the navigation.
They cluster on a few dozen oyamel fir groves in the Sierra Madre at 9,000 to 11,000 feet. The microclimate has to sit between 32 and 41ยฐF. Below freezing kills them. Above 41ยฐF burns the fat reserves they need to survive five months without feeding. The right band exists a few hundred meters thick on a few specific mountains. Outside it, the migration ends.
One generation each year is built differently from the rest. Summer monarchs live two to six weeks. The fall generation lives eight months. It postpones reproduction, fattens up, and carries the entire round trip in a single body.
The map is genetic. Nobody has fully decoded how.
A monarch hatched in a backyard in Toronto in September has never seen a mountain, never smelled a fir, never met an ancestor. It flies south for ten weeks, picks the right peak, and lands on the tree its bloodline has been returning to for tens of thousands of years.
The forest knows the families that come back.
@kaul_vivek He says, "You get the simplicity and tax efficiency of MFs...". Isn't that incorrect? Where is the tax efficiency in PMS? Every rebalancing is a taxable event, isn't it?
