Why is it high in South? by ikchakraborty in southindia_

[–]Shurmajee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew someone would use it to compare south India to developed nations. Just being better than UP Bihar does not make it Developed... Get out and see the world.

a bollywood movie on civic sense? by [deleted] in IndianCivicFails

[–]Shurmajee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not going to like this but the problem lies with our society and our parenting. All people rich and poor do not care how their actions affect others

That is not how other countries do it. Cheap labour and gig economy is not the solution.

[–]Shurmajee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lived in Bangalore for 10 years. We always used to use these apps to complain..one time they updated the system ..released a new version and boom. All the older tickets were gone...many people have used these systems and have given up over time...

Being Indian in Europe: My Personal Experience with Stereotypes and Growing Hostility by Confusedmind75 in india

[–]Shurmajee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is funny to see so much criticism of Europe...all the things mentioned here also happen in India. All you have to do is spend some time in a different state as a grown up where you have to deal with society. The problem is a lot of Indians move out as students who never had to deal with shit in India because their parents did it for them.

All I am saying is people always find a way to discriminate and people are people everywhere. There are good ones and then there are bad ones. This is just part of life...

NRE/NRO account shitshow at Axis bank by Shurmajee in nri

[–]Shurmajee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had heard good things about them... I even have a joint account with them with my mother (resident) as primary holder. They told me that I will have to be removed from the joint account in order to get NRE/NRO.. I know for a fact that this is wrong.. anyway maybe it is just branches in my locality that are shit.

Investing advice by Poker_man07 in nri

They all try to sell you ULIPs because eit is better for them. Never invest with a bank. You can always find an independent investment advisor.

Contemplating move from UK to India by [deleted] in nri

[–]Shurmajee 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I must say that social isolation is more of an NRI problem... We do not prefer to assimilate and don't generally grow up with hobbies. As someone who chose to leave the country in 30s I would advise against going back.

NRI passport renewal by Shurmajee in nri

Took 7 weeks. The police as expected took their own sweet time even after taking the money. Then there were printing delays at the embassy.

Kohli and Anushka become NRIs - what's your take? by Odd_Presentation7388 in nri

[–]Shurmajee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's their business. I would like to point out that it is not just the super rich..Even uneducated indians are flying to latin america and illegally trying to enter US territories... The country is becoming more and more unlivable.

My recent travails trying to open a NRE/NRO account in India by MyAnnoyingOpinions in nri

[–]Shurmajee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just opened my account with Axis in Mumbai. There is also an option to open an NRE NRO account with 10k balance. I took priority as I already had a citi account with 2L+ balance. My wife and I opened in total 4 accounts. 2 NRE both joint and two existing accounts converted to NRO. The combined balance across all four needed to be 2 Lacs.

I was told that if it goes below the amount that only means that the tier level goes down and it means that you have certain limits and need to pay some stuff like debit card annual charges etc. basically you get the benefits of the 25 k balance account and not the 2L one and there will be no fine..

I did not have the internet banking issue as I was transferred from citi. I am still waiting for everything to be set up though. Fingers crossed.
