@architgupta @ET_Wealth Pls #FactCheck claim in ETW article (https://t.co/ru9o2f2gX7) cap gain, interests, dividends are tax exempt in USA. IRS states otherwise here - https://t.co/GkSyAMUF9g and in Pub 519,wherein few exemptions aren't blanket. Mis-info like this can be costly.

[Sonesh Balchandani @sonbal]

@IndiaPostOffice Thx for quick reply & action. Complaint updated with ex-India dispatch info, but disappointing as case seems closed, quote "The inquiry issued with destination country reply is awaited. Case close. at this point, as it is IPCC complaint". It has to be at destination TODAY.Thx

[Sonesh Balchandani @sonbal]

This should be a 30 sec decision, a no-brainer. Just like the no-duty on O2 imports. Also, refund GST already charged.

@PremBhandariNYC @MHAIndia Deepest condolences @Amitchhabra1981 your grief is unfathomable. Unfortunately, scores still caught up betwn suspended T-visa & not-easy-to-get emerg visa. So avoidable. If not for @PremBhandariNYC there wouldn't be even slightest hope of a solution. @IndianEmbassyUS @MEAIndia

[Sonesh Balchandani @sonbal]

Sorry for your loss. Tagging @vfsglobalcare - for the needful.

[Sonesh Balchandani @sonbal]

This is nothing short of the classic Govt "apathy". Only if the @IndianDiplomacy just thinks how much goodwill they can generate AND serve these distressed. Hope @PMOIndia & @HMOIndia can bring about a much needed change @SandhuTaranjitS

[OP Choudhary @OPChoudhary7]

@PremBhandariNYC T-Visa debacle driving unnatural demand 4 emerg visa. GOI specifies emerg-visa 4 death & critically ill; death gets visa over wknd/holidays but not impending death. All consulates hv own rules.Totally arbitrary & callous. Grossly unfair.@IndianEmbassyUS @MEAIndia

[Sonesh Balchandani @sonbal]

Lack of application of mind on part of @OIA_MEA ? Maybe @HMOIndia can set this gross injustice right.
@SandhuTaranjitS

[OP Choudhary @OPChoudhary7]

@PremBhandariNYC

Suspended T-Visa, held by 90% NRIs, artificially forces appl 4 emerg visa.Holders have already paid for m/e T-visa. Paying $103 again, addln $100 on wknds, smacks of taking adv of the needy, not all can afford in #pandemic. @IndianEmbassyUS @PMOIndia @MEAIndia

[Sonesh Balchandani @sonbal]

@snehal_devani @CGISFO @nagentv @IndianEmbassyUS 🙏. Sad, she could have traveled last Fri if not 4 the unconscionable, despicable, inhumane attd of @IndianDiplomacy In a corp co.,visa officer would have lost d job. Unfortunate 2 c this behavior thrives. Soo many who do not get such help hv to suffer. @MEAIndia @Mrk68769267

@meacenter2 Can you explain while your web site mentions Rs 90 per doc attestation AND @MEAIndia site mentions Rs 50, on phone why do you quote 10 TIMES more ?

[Sonesh Balchandani @sonbal]

@PremBhandariNYC @BhallaAjay26 @MEAIndia @OIA_MEA @HMOIndia @PIB_India @PTI_News Another wk passed, dozens more with T-visa went thru rigmarole 2 get emerg visa. Citizens in #NewIndia under @narendramodi must not struggle. To reiterate, quote @PremBhandariNYC - गृह मंत्रालय द्वारा टी-वीजा को लेकर नई गाइडलाइन ही है समस्या का समाधान

@PremBhandariNYC @BhallaAjay26 @MEAIndia @OIA_MEA More cases of travelers stranded due to T-visa every day, distress compounded by harsh inclement weather in the NE. A 4yr old denied boarding, returned from ORD to ATL in freezing snow..even this won't make @MEAIndia @HMOIndia move? https://t.co/UkvITClBH1
