India's senior most taxpayer - Roses in December
Legal Corner Icon — the image was hosted by the publisher and was not captured. Yesterday we had carried a report on Mr. F. D. Engineer, aged about 100 years, resident of Secunderabad, Andhra Pradesh who filed his Income-tax return on 31st July 2007 and paid due taxes. However much we tried, we could not get his picture yesterday. Here it is. We wish him many more tax paying but less taxing years ahead. Maybe the government can consider exempting people above 90 from Income Tax. Let these people live in peace in the December of their lives when they should enjoy the fragrance of roses, not bear the brunt of taxation.
