is’nt it surprising that our beloved buruocrats & politicians came to know about the flood in gujarat on 30-09-2013 at 3 pm. Whereas the flood started on 23-09-13. This is the way they are working. Given the extention when almost 99% work has been completed with sleepless nights.
IT IS REGRET TO MENTION THAT CBDT HAS NOT CONSIDERED THE UTTARAKHAND STATE. IT SEEMS THAT CBDT HAS NO CONCERN FOR TAX PAYERS PROBLEMS ONLY THE ARE BUSY TO COLLECT TAXES FOR ELECTION FUNDING. DECISION OF CBDT IS VERY VERY DISSAPPOINTING….
