@anooshkabathwal @Benarasiyaa If other banks were paying, there could be a process. Why couldn't they take requisite approvals and pay interest in the account directly!?

@Benarasiyaa The marketing department routing is what implicates senior management directly. Someone above compliance signed off on disguising an interest payment as a sponsorship expense.

In 2021, HDFC Bank taps Maharashtra state road development corp for deposit. MSRDC promises ₹25000 crore from its land acquisition fund. Bank agreees 6.01% as interest even as it pays 3.5% for others. Bank clears 2.51% extra interest for MSRDC but it is paid by marketing department through vendors.

@x_rahulraj "people must push back" - People are part of the problem rahul bhai Culture koi bahar se to aaya nahi

The pride of being a “Jugaad Nation” and a “cost-sensitive nation” has hurt us in many ways. Over time, it has eroded our standards, moral values and ethics, where safety, security, and hygiene are often compromised in the name of saving money. Combined with corruption, the insensitivity of netas and babus, and the greed-driven mindset that society has normalized, this has weakened us from within. People must start pushing back against this culture before the damage becomes irreversible.

Why can't these guys invest and invent? Go out abroad and negotiate and sell?

The most worrying signal for an economy when businessmen stop investing. Why? They are usually the smartest allocators of capital in society. If even they are unwilling to deploy money despite record profits, tax cuts and rising markets, it raises a deeper question: What are they seeing that others are not? Look at the shift quietly happening in India’s tax structure: 👉In FY17, income tax collections were just 72% of corporate tax collections. 👉By FY26, they are projected to become 133%. Even more striking: 👉Individual taxpayers will contribute 4.0% of GDP. 👉Corporate taxes remain stuck near 3.03% of GDP. In simple words: Consumers and salaried classes are increasingly funding the government more than businesses. Even former CEA Arvind Subramanian recently pointed toward weak private investment as one of India’s biggest structural concerns. And this is the real issue. An economy cannot sustainably grow if: -households consume, -governments spend, -but private businesses hesitate to invest. Because long-term jobs, productivity, innovation and wealth creation ultimately come from private capital formation. The story is not “ease of doing business.” It’s The growing perception of “risk of doing business.” And when businesses become cautious, future growth slows silently long before GDP numbers show it. You cannot tax your way into prosperity. A nation grows when entrepreneurs feel confident enough to build for the future. #economy #tax #gdp

The only gas that's seen is coming out of the union govt

Wood stoves will be even cheaper.

Pakistan's air force will be paying this debt for the next 10 years. Because India burned through their entire defense budget in 88 hours. This was not a war of missiles. It was a war of balance sheets. And only one side had the balance sheet to fight it. India's entire Operation Sindoor cost between 320 and 587 million dollars. Less than 1 percent of India's defense budget. The kind of money India spends building a highway. Pakistan's losses? 1.4 to 2.6 billion dollars. 16 to 29 percent of their entire annual defense budget. In 4 days. Gone. Now look at the specific numbers because this is where the real story lives. One BrahMos missile costs 34 crore rupees. It destroyed Pakistan's AWACS aircraft worth 3000 crore. One strike. 88 times return on investment. One Harpy drone costs 5.6 crore. It destroyed a Chinese HQ-9 air defense battery worth 636 crore. 114 times return. These are numbers. No narrative changes them. The S-400 hit a target 34 kilometres away. The longest confirmed surface to air kill in military history. Ever. Anywhere. By anyone. 11 airbases cratered. Both Pakistani Saab AWACS aircraft, their eyes in the sky, burned inside their own hangars. F-16s grounded. JF-17s destroyed. Chinese radars blinded. Chinese engineers fled. Then Pakistan launched over 600 drones at India. Not one got through. Not. One. Pakistan is an economy 10 times smaller than India. Already standing in front of the IMF with an outstretched hand before the first missile was fired. They burned through one quarter of their war chest in 88 hours. And kept telling their own people they were winning. India did not just win a war. India financially bankrupted Pakistan on the battlefield. And Pakistan will be paying that bill for the next 8 to 10 years. That is the real legacy of Operation Sindoor. Not the strikes. Not the drones. The arithmetic.

“India is no longer struggling to attract tourists… it is now struggling to handle the crowd. From mountains to beaches, every tourist destination is packed. People spend more time stuck in traffic than actually enjoying the journey. This scene from Sikkim’s Zero Point is not an exception anymore it’s becoming the new normal across India.”

OP : One of our follower complaint us about this issue and when we went there to check the situation was terrible busses parked illegally on the road and when we asked the drivers they openly said that we give hafta' to police officers, we people need a change. 📍Thane

This guy had his bike stolen and traced it down to a house. The bike’s been there for over 12 hours, but listen to how the police acted and the attitude! They say they can’t do anything because the back gate is open and there’s no other evidence. He then argues with the man, who clearly just wants justice for his stolen bike. The British police are an absolute joke.

@Lee_Merick @monidipadey WB also has camels brought in from RJ. On foot.

Old mock interview of civil servant Akash Kumar Rauniyar, Circle Officer, Sasaram, Bihar. From his speech, he looked like an honest and upright officer, and he did prove it. When the Vigilance team caught him today for allegedly demanding a ₹3 lakh bribe to resolve a disputed land mutation case, they were surprised to find that Akash treats common people and his peers equally. The person he allegedly sought the bribe from was a revenue employee from his own department. Dayan bhi saat ghar chhod deti hai, but Akash doesn't. He has set an example for officers: give special favours to no one and treat those you serve and those you serve with equally.

How would you like your crow? Rare, medium or well done?

@PessiVaraprasad @forumshah_ Phone pe tweet karne ke liye data hai lekin wifi fukat ka chahiye.

@forumshah_ tell me honestly, all u wanted was a wifi, coffee was an excuse

And this is exactly how brands lose customers. Went to a Theobroma outlet in a mall because I urgently had to work on a deck. Asked for the WiFi password , the guy denied. Went to order a cold coffee instead, saw dusty packed bottles lying there with manufacturing dates from Jan 2026 😭 Walked out immediately. Went to Cococart in the same mall instead. Freshly made coffee, free WiFi, better experience. Safe to say I’m not going back to Theobroma anytime soon.

@forumshah_ Or you could have worked on the deck at. . . home?

India’s rising dependence on foreign capital raises concerns: Kotak Equities Kotak report: India’s reliance on foreign capital rising Net FDI inflows slowed, FPI outflows accelerated in recent years High crude prices may worsen current account deficit by FY2027

Whatever investible capital we had was spent in ladli behna (by govt) and share buyback (by pvt trading cos)

One thing I noticed is that his answer sheet does not appear to have been evaluated through the on screen marking system and was instead checked manually only after he raised his complaint. This raises a serious possibility that his digitally evaluated answer sheet may have been wrongly assigned to another student. This is far beyond a simple clerical error. It points toward massive mismanagement, possible data mix ups, and a completely compromised evaluation process where students’ futures are being handled with shocking carelessness behind closed doors.

If shamelessness had a face
