Magazine Description
In this issue
Hello Dear Readers! Here’s a question for you as tax filing time nears: Is Income Tax still relevant? Bewildering rules and rampant evasion make one (and experts) wonder whether the system is past its sell-by date. The fact that three-fourths of our legislators have incomes of less than a million rupees and that a single individual owed 11% of the entire income tax payable by India in 2014-2015, indicate that the government would do well to totally dump Income Tax. Besides, this month, we update you on how the Budget affects your real estate investments, show you the brighter side of taking a loan, and update you on new indexation norms, before rounding off with tales of new worlds and lost cities. Happy Reading!
