#StopTaxAbuse on salaried and working class @IncomeTaxIndia

Income tax refunds being held back for paperwork gap: Thousands of taxpayers are discovering that refunds are stalled because Form 16 doesn’t fully mirror what they claimed in their ITR. The system flags deductions as “mismatches” and the burden of reconciliation now sits squarely with the taxpayer. The last date for revised return is December 31, 2025. writes @mrayushmishra #incometax moneycontrol.com/news/busine…

Bro ignore this just like the way you have ignored 796 other SMS which is lying unread.

Welcome to British Raj

This is their version of “something went wrong” - they don’t tell you what the error is. They don’t know either. Their system does. Some intern wrote the error message and mailer. To say something is wrong. You figure where what.

🚨 ITR REFUND ALERT – READ THIS BEFORE 31 DEC 🚨 Thousands of taxpayers are suddenly receiving this message 👇 👉 “Your ITR refund is on hold due to risk management discrepancies. File revised return within a week.” 💡 Irony? ⏳ Income Tax Dept took 4 months to identify the issue ⏰ And now gives taxpayers barely a few days to fix it ❓ Why no detailed email received? Because most of these are system-generated risk flags. Sometimes: • Email goes to old registered ID • Lands in spam • Or only SMS/portal alert is triggered 👉 Always check the ITR portal → e-Proceedings / Worklist 📌 What does “ITR processing on hold” mean? It does NOT mean notice or scrutiny ❌ It means: 🔹 Refund claim looks unusual compared to data available with department 🔹 Return is paused before issuing refund 🔹 Taxpayer is given a chance to self-correct ⚠️ Common reasons refunds get flagged : 🔹 TDS/TCS mismatch TDS claimed in ITR is higher than what appears in Form 26AS (employer/bank hasn’t deposited or corrected data yet) 🔹 AIS vs ITR income mismatch Interest, dividends, salary or other income appears in AIS, but not fully reported in ITR 🔹 High refund compared to past years Sudden jump in refund amount triggers risk checks, especially if income pattern is similar 🔹 Deductions claimed without backing data Large HRA, 80C, 80D, home loan interest, or losses claimed which don’t match available reporting 🔹 Employer correction pending Employer revised TDS return filed late → ITR processed earlier → mismatch created 🔹 Multiple revised returns Frequent revisions raise system flags under “risk management” 🔹 Wrong head of income Interest shown as “other income” vs “business”, capital gains wrongly classified, etc. ✅ What should taxpayers do NOW? 1️⃣ Log in to income-tax portal 2️⃣ Compare ITR vs AIS 26AS 3️⃣ If mistake found → File revised return before 31-12-2025 4️⃣ If correct → wait, refund usually released after verification ⚠️ After 01-01-2026, updated return = extra tax penalty Clients started forwarding this message since morning 📩 🔄 Repost to save someone from unnecessary penalty.

Dear @grok How much is the price in rupees to procure a fully equipped heavy duty road sweeping machine in India? If Karnataka Government buys 46 machines how much will it cost? Setting the Context: Karnataka Cabinet approves ₹613 Cr to RENT (NOT BUY OR LEASE) 46 sweeping machines for Bengaluru for 7 years. So that works out to 13 Crore per machine or 15 Lakh per month per machine 😀😀 Of tax payers money 💪 In my View, One machine should not be more than 1-3 Cr 🤡 Which means this procurement should have been done within 150 Cr. And they can be used for years. The saved money can be put in FD and interest can take care of maintenance for decades. @grok pls give Detailed answer only for @GBAChiefComm & @DKShivakumar ji #FI

Cisco to buy Splunk for $28bn. Something's not right about this. Let me think out loud here. First Splunk is a logging tool. And they are great at it. Always been a shining star in what they do. Their tool was better at all the competitors right away and they knew it. They've also been super involved with the community. Many of my shirts and dinners have been courtesy of Splunk. I asked their leadership back in 2010, how have you not been acquired yet? Your company rocks. He said, that's not what their goal is. They want to be the next leader, not be picked up by one. Soon after that they IPO'd. Then they started acquiring company after company. I think they acquired 10 companies now? And have given over $100M to charity. Surely they must have had many very exciting offers to be acquired. But firmly were saying no to them all. Because that's not what they wanted to do. In 2019 their valuation was $35 billion. With no slow down in sight (til pandemic hit). Last year their revenue was $3bn. They are absolutely not needing money. They are earning it hand over fist. Now Cisco comes and offers them $28bn and they take it? I don't get it. And we are all sad to see this because Cisco stopped innovating decades ago and just acquires companies to stay fresh then does nothing with them. So this is the peak for Splunk. That's it. And I was rooting for them to do so much more. My guess is that the original leadership of the company changed. The ethos changed. The drive, the passion, the excitement ran out among leadership. They don't need money, they don't need this "partnership". I think what they needed was a sabbatical. Recover from the burnout or whatever it was they needed to replenish their energy to get back in the game and make a ruckus.
