Household expenses under IT Dept scanner Chandigarh, March 16 “Acting on a directive of the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), the department is creating a database of high expenses incurred by taxpayers. The field officers have been directed to pick up cases for detailed scrutiny during 2006-07 on the basis of low household withdrawals, Mr P. Sahi, Commissioner of Income Tax-I, Chandigarh,” said here today. “This means the returns already filed for the assessment year 2005-06 will be picked up for scrutiny if low household withdrawals are noticed. Taxpayers have the option till March 31 to revise their already-filed returns,” she added. Officials highlighted that the income shown in the return of the taxpayer must be sufficient to support expenses incurred by him. Further, there must be sufficient withdrawals from the taxpayer’s bank account or from other disclosed sources for meeting the household expenses. “In many cases, it is noticed that the total amount spent on children’s education, including coaching and tuition fee, electricity, motor car maintenance, travelling and club memberships, far exceeds the total income disclosed in the income tax return,” the officials added. Ms Sahi said the department had urged the trading and professional organisations to impress upon their members to give correct information in their returns to be filed during the remaining period of this financial year and during the financial year 2006-07.

Holi colours soak tricity Chandigarh, March 16 The imposing presence of so many men-in-khaki on the streets, especially along the geri route, was no dampener for them. Because camouflaged under colours they rode past the drenched crowd on their single-cylinder flying machines with bandannas protecting their hair. The geri route and the southern sectors were the venue of prime celebrations. Open Gypsies with giggling damsels roamed the area between Sectors 9 and 11, overtaking guys on scooters with faces painted silver. In Sector 10, they stopped. To buy eggs and to savour beer and whisky. Some tipplers, too, consumed excess liquor and were seen lying on the road. The guys stopped their cars with “Holi
hai” written with colours in front of hotels and restaurants in Sector 35 to shake, rattle and roll as the high wattage car stereos blared out bhangra music. Some even went uphill to celebrate the festival. As Panjab University was out of bounds, Holi was “just for the
hostellers”. Those who stayed back to enjoy the festival away from their families, went from one hostel to another, making it a day to remember. Girls, however, had their reasons to complain. Their hostels, they alleged, were converted into jails. “As cops and security guards maintained vigil, the hostels were virtually inaccessible,” the boys also grumbled Some of the maidens, from behind the closed windows of their mini-limousines, also stopped to pick up beer from the road-side vends at some places. Not to drink, but to go home and wash hair, all coated with colour. Mohali: Though rain tried to be a spoil for Holi lovers, residents of the town still celebrated the festival with great enthusiasm. Revellers, armed with water pistols and balloons, took to the streets on their motor bikes. Small children, as well as elders, also celebrated the festival in their own way. However, some residents of a nearby village, Sohana, chose to play with ash and animal bones. Instead of colours, ash was smeared on faces of a number of villagers and skeletons of animals were hung outside houses and even kept on top of vehicles in the village as part of Holi celebrations. Villagers say that this tradition had been going on for the past more than 40 years. This was done to save the village from evil spirits. This way of celebrating Holi was not liked by everybody in the village. In fact, it had been stopped, by the police some years ago but now again some people had started following the old tradition. Though some lawlessness prevailed in parts of the town during the festival, the police failed to take any action. Panchkula: Incessant rain failed to dampen the spirits of Holi revellers, who, in spite of a downpour, came out of their homes to celebrate the festival. Dressed in shorts and T-shirts, their faces painted silver, and armed with water guns, groups of revellers could be seen wading through ankle deep water in various sectors. As the sky finally cleared up, it was celebration time all around. Riding scooters and zipping past in open jeeps, the young and the not-so-young were out to make most of the lost time. If the Sector 7 market remained the all-time favourite destination for the young revellers, the Sector 11 market was also on the geri route. The police had made elaborate arrangements and at many places, PCR jeeps could be seen chasing the revellers. The traffic wing of the police had a tough time. Challans were issued to a number of traffic rule violators. About 30 persons were rushed to the General Hospital and private hospitals after they were injured in brawls, fights and road accidents. Some of these were later referred to the PGI. A few cases of head injuries were also
reported.

Former IMA cadet gets compensation Chandigarh, March 16 ‘‘The Delhi High Court took strong exception to the government’s conduct. It observed the IMA recommending the matter several times, the government. refused to release the money and made a disabled and paralyzed person run from pillar to post and ultimately approach the Court," the cadet's counsel, Ms Jyoti
Singh, told The Tribune. ‘‘The court also observed that mere payment of stipend does not end the chapter as Gulia has to be compensated for the harassment caused to him for so many years for claiming what he was entitled to,’’ she added. The amount of compensation is yet to be decided by the court. During an obstacle course competition at the IMA, he got seriously injured which left him completely paralyzed chest downwards. The incident occurred in April 1995, about a month before he was scheduled to get his commission. On account of this, he remained in hospital from till July 1997, when he was finally released from the Army on medical grounds. For the entire period he was considered as a gentleman cadet and held on the supernumerary strength of the IMA. The IMA put up the case to Army Headquarters several times from 1998 to 2000, stating he should be paid stipend for the entire duration of two years in accordance with the Army’s policy. The IMA authorities even wrote that Army Headquarters was unnecessarily delaying the release of the money in a case, which was very tragic and deserved lot of compassion. Army Headquarters, in a letter dated September 9, 1998 confirmed that stipend should be paid to such cases withdrawn on medical grounds, but for the next six years no money was released. Finally in 2003, he filed a writ petition in the Delhi High Court. Initially the Army took the stand that the policy was silent for such cases. When the petitioner brought on record letters by Army Headquarters showing their confirmation for payment in such cases, the Army changed their stand and stated that the rules were ambiguous. The Army contended that in fact Army Headquarters had no objection but the Controller of Defence Accounts was turning down the claim in the absence of sanction from Ministry of Defence. It was also stated that Gulia was held on supernumerary strength but only for accounting purposes ‘‘as a piece of paper’’. The court also summoned the Controller of Defence Accounts to be personally present in the court and explain on what basis they were meeting out this kind of treatment to a severally disabled person.

Envoy for UK-Punjab partnership Chandigarh, March 16 Sir Michael, who led a team of British businesspersons to the city on an exploratory visit, told The Tribune that his meeting with the Chief Ministers of Punjab and Haryana and the Administrator of Chandigarh was very encouraging. He said that he was very hopeful that everyone one would benefit from this collaboration. ‘‘Punjab is becoming globally important due to its high agricultural growth. Britain has the expertise in the field and we want to enter into a partnership, and we are trying to find a way to work together’’, he said. Britain he said, imports about 20 billion pound sterling (US $ 40 billion) worth of food annually. There is a huge market that could benefit the farmers, agro-processors as well as the intermediaries from this region, if this partnership succeeds. He said that the kind of partnership that businesspersons from the UK were looking for would not be limited to the sale of value added products to Britain, but would take them to the markets in the entire European Union (EU), besides other parts of India. He disclosed that a memorandum of understanding (MOU) had been signed with an independent agency to work out a framework of this partnership. The High Commissioner was accompanied by members of the Hull and Humber Chamber of Commerce Trade Mission to India, comprising of businesspersons with a strong agrarian focus. The delegates include representatives of some of the very best of agribusiness service providers that the UK has to offer. This includes research and technical development, cold chain logistics, food security, education and training and agribusiness solutions for the public and private sector. During the current visit of the mission to India, the Federation of Indian Chamber of Commerce (FICCI) and the British Agrifood Consortium (BAC) will sign a cooperation agreement. Reacting to the changes in visa rules by the British Government, Sir Michael said, ‘‘modifications in visa rules was an ongoing process, once the amendment to the UK visa rules come into practice, it make travel for bona fide visitors, tourists etc simple and easy. At the same time, the new visa rules would be very tough on people trying to abuse the system’’. The British High Commission had granted 3 lakh visas last year and the numbers is expected to rise by 25 per cent, he said. Reacting to a question on Indo-UK relationship, the High Commissioner said: ‘‘Relationship between the two countries has never been better. The Prime Ministers of the two met recently and declared the two nations to be strategic partners in the fields of energy, security, war against terrorism and environmental issues, besides other areas off mutual concern. UK-India relationship has never been so good’’. He further added that the UK was supportive of the US-India nuclear deal and had nothing to worry about India seeking titanium supplies from Russia.

2 teachers lose cool Chandigarh, March 16 Interestingly, the school headmistress, Ms Ravi Grover, who was present in the school at the time of the incident, said she came to know about it only when the one of the two teachers involved sought the help of the police. According to witnesses, the two JBT teachers, Surinder and Yogesh, entered into a fight over some issue. Yogesh, who was earlier suspended by the Education Department for slapping two teachers at Government High School, Hallomajra, said he had gone to the class to collect his car keys when Surinder accused him of making false complaints about him to the headmaster. He said he had ignored the comments and left for Hallomajra from where he was called when the police reached the school premises. Surinder, on the contrary, alleged that he was slapped by Yogesh in the class and was also scratched by his pen just because he had asked him to be in the school and check the papers of class V. The matter, he said, was reported to the headmistress, who refused to take any action and said such incidents do take place in the school. Meanwhile, the headmistress said Surinder was not hit by Yogesh and the entire incident was cooked up by him. She said the entire incident had been manipulated by Surinder in connivance with Anil, a former teacher in the school, and two others, Shivdutt and
Ramkishan. According to her, Anil had an affair with a schoolteacher which Yogesh had disclosed. As a result, he was implicated in a false incident. She added that Surinder had been missing from the school after the recess and never approached her with a complaint.

UT, where is the interest? Chandigarh, March 16 The application was made pursuant to the UT Administration's rehabilitation scheme for unemployed ex-servicemen. Along with the project profile, he also deposited Rs 14,000 as 10 per cent advance in lieu of the 2,000 sq. yard plot that he was applying for. He was promised "quick action" and put on the waiting list. Over 23 years later, on February 8 this year, the UT Administration returned his deposit by way of a cheque for Rs 14,000. No reasons were given for the move. All that the accompanying letter signed by a superintendent in the office of Estate Officer, Chandigarh, says is that as per the decision of the Chandigarh Administration, the amount deposited by Mr Gulati for allotment of industrial plot was being refunded to him. A visibly upset Mr Gulati now plans to move the court against the "shabby" treatment meted out to him. "Is this how they should treat those who served the country? Had I invested the money in even government bonds, it would have increased at least five times. And, what is the reason for this sudden decision? Don't have a right to know?" he wonders. Interestingly, in November, 1991, when Mr Gulati wrote to the Estate Office, seeking that his case be expedited, he was told that interview of applicants for four kanal land had not been started by the allotment/screening committee. "You will be informed as and when it starts," the Estate Officer assured him. However, in the same letter, he was told that he could apply for a refund, if he so desired, as there was no likelihood of allotment of plots to "unsatisfied applicants". "I made many rounds of the Estate Office, asking when my case was expected to be processed. Each time, I was assured of action. If they didn't have land, why did they sit on my money?" he
asks.
