In this issue

Tax is taxing on several counts, and yet we don’t pay much attention
to it until the last minute. And then begins the hurry to collect
bills, receipts and statements. Note that you may be in for a nasty surprise
later, if the Hawk’s eye of the Income Tax department spots that
missing/ fake bill. Our cover story this month, therefore, tells you how
to file your claims properly. Besides, we also offer a perspective on the
Bull Run in the stock markets and whether it’s a good time to invest,
especially in light of the IPOs that have had a great run recently. You
also get a peep into the RERA —the new real estate law and how it
eases your path to a dream home! Read on, then.
