i know exactly what you mean....

neither was i....i have seen him win impossible games in the ipl, 20-20 & ranji formats....so i was sure we would win as long as he stuck it out....

Takes ages doing it that way. yesterday my car warmed up after almost 10 miles of driving.

Folks, how serious is it if one does not file Indian taxes on time? My wife worked in India during Q1 in 2009, but has not done it. I have heard some rumours that one can get arrested at airports (US) if taxes are not filed. Is that true in the US and India?

Not in my experience...but who knows what the future may bring! :eek:

(I would think that this *would* happen if they detect you owe a (blank)-load of money to them, and haven't bothered, rather than not having paid the respective taxes in advance/have had it deducted...)

I think she has a PAN#, they can easily track such things right?

Yes, but what will only happen is that she will be penalized using a formula that the indian IT authorities use...better to get moving on it asap - that's all...

One of my friends from home forwarded me a link. It appears that the TSA at my local airport (JAN) felt the need to grope Meera Shankar while she was on official duty visiting the State of Mississippi.

Ridiculous :td:

I get real agitated talking about TSA...so I wont.

nothing the tsa does surprises me anymore....

+1 :td:
and the indian ambassador was accompanied by many other folks including someone from airport security but still subject to this !!! and apparantly the only person in this flight to be 'checked' this way !! :td::mad:

The Indian Income tax rules state that anyone earning above the minimum taxable amount need to submit their return even if no taxes are payable..
Ur wife worked as an employee or as self employed..as u are saying Q1 2009, it would be financial year 2008-09 .. She needs to file a return if her income for 2008 -09 was more than INR 180000.. the last date was 31.3.2010 but I guess u can file a delayed return paying a fine of INR 5k IIRC..

Never heard anyone getting arrested unless there was a big tax demand raised for taxes payable and if that was not paid etc..

This can happen if the Income tax demand has sent a notice of demand or some other legal notice.. they will not simply stop u in the airport if u hv not filed the tax return IME..

The TSA / Diplomat incident now on BBC:

Apparently the Indian Government has filed some sort of complaint/whatever.
Whats the use?

the complaint should be taken up seriously....this sort of thing is becoming a joke now....
