The link that I found the article copied from has the article on it since 2010, so it is clear that that blog owner did not copy it from the member's blog as is claimed, see the link I have posted in the first para!

vijay replied to the topic Is the Finance Minster right in even thinking of taxing EPF, the only big savings of any middle class Indian?.
The intention of taxing was to move retirees to a secured pension. The principle amount would be given to nominee when pension ceased. It is a good advice but it is seen as a penalty. Taxation was being used here as a tool to motivate people to move towards pension. It should have been done with some promotion and communication. Perhaps those who opt for getting pensions from 60% PF amount could have been rewarded.

It is the gullible and very young inexperienced voters who really expect manifestos to be concretised. So why you are feeling sad is not understandable. Have a glass of chilled beer and write a good article for us to read.
ha ha ! I like this. Yes I shall drink a glass of good chilled beer, but mind you it will be Pakistani beer from Murree. Damm good, I get a regular supply from my Paki Air Force officer friend. !

No one is putting words and it is hilarious to read that party should not be brought in for the acts of an individual. Was it not a BJP procession. Different yardstick for judging Congress and BJP.
This is sad, as I wrote BJP has forgotton its manifesto and Modi perhaps is wary of taking action against the MLA as after Bihar defeat anything can happen

Indeed these are high profile citizen of India. Our FM is senior advocate and his fees for one case is in six figure. They don't know any thing about a middle class. An employee give more than 30 years to nation and collect some amount for his life after retirement. It is ravin.
I agree.This proposal by the FM, evoked a strong opposition from the employee's representatives on the Board of Empoyee's Provident Fund Organization. Further the FM clarified that this is in line with the National Pension System and other Pension Plans, where the Government has proposed to exempt Forty percent of the corpus from tax at the time of withdrawal.

Of Course. It's strange. The owner Mary Thorn was forced to leave the Alligator because Florida Fish and wild life have told Mary that she can only keep the Alligator, if she moves to a property with at least 2.5 acres of open space.

According to one member BJP has a presence only in the northern states which is totally wrong because Karnataka has a very strong BJP presence with at least two ministers from the state at the center, it is better to check ones facts before ranting out simply for the sake of doing so..

Agreed chances of BJP sweeping these states are less excepting Assam where it may do good to very good. In TN it may tag along with AIADMK and it may gain more seats in Bengal at the expense of Congress. But voters are final decision makers. To expect BJP to be radically different from Congress in itself is a utopian thought because except for few leaders at top, below the followers are similar.
In my viewvBJP squandered a great chance of moving forward as per their manifesto. They have forgotton about it and concentrating on petty matters. There manifesto had mentioned integration of Kashmir, civil code and OROP. Except the last which is given not as per defiñation of parliament BJP is talking of other things this is sad.
