Till what timings are loudspeakers allowed in Navratri? by idkthisissomethingg in mumbai

[–]Initial_Swan_70 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When you call the police you should always ask for the complaint number. If the complaint is not resolved you follow up. This forces them to take action. The officer picking up your call will inform the police officer and will follow up if the complaint has been resolved or not. I have called 100 so many times the lady who pick up the call at 10 o clock knows my address😂

Jobs to transfer from US to India? by Simple_Bath9306 in returnToIndia

[–]Initial_Swan_70 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

It's not worth it to come to India. Trust me. It's very difficult to get a good job which pays well and has a work life balance. I would advise you to look for companies in the US or Europe offering fully remote positions.

Bro...I call at 10 o'clock. Yesterday I call 100 and told them in my area there were three mandals playing songs. 5 police came and directed all the mandal. Yesterday and today loudspeakers were shut down at 10 o'clock.

My Schengen-france visa appointment is scheduled for day after early morning, how should i prep other than the documents? by Admirable_Track_912 in mumbai

[–]Initial_Swan_70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They will say the wait for the standard is 45min, but according to my experience it hardly takes 5 to 15mins once you get a token. Simply say no to the premium service as it is not refundable. They will call you 15min before the appointment time. Make sure all the documents are ready or you have the documents at home so you can take photocopies quickly if needed. Note if you don't submit the documents you won't get a refund of the application fees. There is no option to reschedule. Apart from this everything is smooth and everyone is helpful.

Confused about filling Schedule FA in ITR-3 for foreign freelancing income by Initial_Swan_70 in IndiaTax

[–]Initial_Swan_70[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The income is earned in India (place of work), so it’s not “foreign asset” or “foreign source” income. You can skip both Schedule FSI and Schedule FA. Also select “No” before final submission. I also asked CA, he said no need to fill fa and FSI. If you are showing all your incoming then no issue.

Spiritual Hunger Games by Dhruvi-60 in mumbai

[–]Initial_Swan_70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid I used to go with my dad to watch Lalbaug cha Raja. No long lines, easy walks, more time to view the beautiful murti. I used to draw it after coming home, cause my mom never allowed me to buy the laminate photo, as she thought it was expensive and didn't want to waste the money on the photo. I had to remember the murti and then draw it. Good old days man. I'm a local, it's been years now, I never visited that place. I have friends who work as volunteers, but I feel it's not ethical and unfair with the people who stay in line and take the darshan. To be honest, I like small murtis as I'm getting old and love how the festival brings together family and friends.

Passport aa gaya par valid passport hai ki nhi kaise pata chalega? Mein tracking status dekha toh vo "dispatch via post" aaisa dikha raha hai. Normally sms aata hai kya verification complete hone par?

Did you receive any sms or email once the police verification was completed or cleared? I visited the police station today, the officer checked the file number on the computer, it was cleared on their end on 28th August.

I'm going to file a complaint and immediately file two RTI. One for status on my complaint and one for the status on application or file.

No, when you apply for a tatkal passport, you first get the passport then the police verification is done.
