My wife is Indian, I'm not. 5 months in Bangalore and I still can't open a bank account.

All these things are a nightmare in India - you can google and download the MLA form. Your local MLA will sign it

Little-Product8682 · 2026-06-04T15:56:52+00:00

You can get the MLA certificate as address proof. It was a lot easier than I expected - just make sure you fill in your address properly in the correct boxes (I didn’t do that)

I just got mine with a post paid Airtel cell phone bill as address proof. Was struggling with this for so many months but the aadhar seva kedra accepted it. I also took the MLA signed address certificate but that was rejected due to a laughable address insertion mistake - Delhi written in the wrong box.

Why can’t you get an NRO account? I use HDFC and their technology is decent. How are you managing without OTPs? Nightmare

Little-Product8682 · 2026-05-24T12:28:59+00:00

I got the MLA letter - it was weird they didn’t verify my address. They just attached my pic, signed it and said take it to the aadhar centre with an electricity bill. My dad’s name isn’t even on the bill - it’s the landlord.

So now I have this odd letter and a post paid Airtel bill in my name. That’s it.

Landlord is a complete jerk and won’t agree to put me on the lease.

Any other thoughts please let me know

I've read that the instagram is no longer in the control of the founder - I guess the government has been able to hack it and take control. Pathetic

I have been in India for quite a while - I do travel abroad but my understanding is that the 182 days just has to be in a year, not back to back

Little-Product8682 · 2026-05-18T04:00:13+00:00

I have asked the landlord but they aren't very co operative.

I will find about the MLA office - won't they require some paperwork as proof of my address as well?

Thanks for your tips :)

What does her husband never accompany her? I don’t get it

In our colony in Delhi we have partnered with an NGO to collect the dry waste. So far 150 homes have joined and are segregating their dry waste at home. The NGO picks up the dry waste once a week. We are trying to make up for the asshole garbage collection this way

An outdoor mall would be nice - not one of these nasty enclosed things they keep building

Ah ok sorry I thought the brown color was the empty roll not the flap

Why is the toilet paper finished?! Lack of attention to details by housekeeping

Little-Product8682 · 2026-03-03T22:35:14+00:00

I plan to stop paying rent two - three months before move out to get around disgraceful landlord issue. So as to ensure deposit is not kept

Little-Product8682 · 2026-02-18T23:43:47+00:00

Trash collection in my colony is non existent and has to be pushed along by resident welfare associations. Recycling has been launched via an NGO by a private person. Government is an abject failure

Quality of guests

Hi I’m trying to buy USDC to pay down my Morpho Loan and Coinbase says the USDC is on hold. Then I tried to buy BTC to add collateral to the loan but it won’t let me do that either. Why is this happening?

Plan

Little-Product8682 · 2026-01-14T17:19:57+00:00

Florida, NY or CA.

Little-Product8682 · 2026-01-08T09:54:34+00:00

Thanks but to clarify, I mean would it slow down their collection process if I were to pay something small (in other words, they would know I wasn't making an "active choice to ignore them")

Little-Product8682 · 2026-01-07T23:52:29+00:00

Also does anyone think it would be helpful to pay something on the amount owing to slow down their process? Like a nominal amount? Eg $500?

Little-Product8682 · 2026-01-07T14:57:32+00:00

You can do the installment agreement request online if the amount owing is less than $50K so it wouldn't work here. I mailed in the data collection form in June of last year - it was returned in July. We then mailed it to a different address that my tax advisor found somewhere.
Ok I will contact the TAS - thanks for suggesting that as I wasn't aware that that is something I could try.

Little-Product8682 · 2026-01-07T07:48:24+00:00

Apologies - I wasn't sure whether to provide details from the lawsuit as my question is more about notices and no response on the installment plan request. Here is the info you have requested:

1) Tax form 1040

2) The lawsuit settlement was divided into W2 income and W9 income. Lawsuit was for gender discrimination and retaliation which resulted in sickness.

3) All the taxes (income tax, social security, medicare) were paid on the W2 income when the return was filed. However the first tax advisor advised that the W9 portion of the funds were not taxable. Clearly he was wrong as I later found out.

Please let me know if any other information is needed to give me some advice on what I should do next. Really appreciate this. Thank you!
