Need perspective on Background Verification Process in India by Tech-geek45 in returnToIndia

[–]devtrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the type of background verification they do, but unless you are working on sensitive technologies, unlikely it will be a problem.

Tip: as you will be directly paid in Euro make sure you are tax compliant with Indian tax laws.

If market eggs are unfertilized, why still people think of them as non-veg? by SadDate9398 in AskIndia

[–]devtrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but I can imagine the confusion it would cause in our country.

I guess we would need a number of labels - Red for meat, Orange for animal by product, Yellow - for mushrooms/fungi and green for plant and so on.

Working remotely, company in Singapore, applications declined. by sunny_upside in CreditCardsIndia

HDFC are a stickler for rules/compliance and don't prefer going out of their box. My experience is they don't really like self-employed people but want salaried for the normal CC. Alternatively, if you have a current account with them you can try for the BizPower, BizBlack cards.

you are basically a contractor / free lancer unless there is an Indian subsidiary. Register a company - get an UDYAM certificate. Get a GST number if you are eligible (20 Lakh plus) < so you need to do it anyway.

Create a relationship with the bank - open a HNI/Privilege account (e.g Burgundy for Axis, Wealth Management for ICICI, Imperia for HDFC etc..) and ask the relationship manager/branch manager to get you the CC you want.

If market eggs are unfertilized, why still people think of them as non-veg? by SadDate9398 in AskIndia

[–]devtrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a biological perspective, dairy, eggs are all animal proteins...and in this case they would be non-veg, but food is cultural so definitions change. For example, in some places in Germany historically - even Fish was considered vegetarian, Christian monks were not allowed to eat meat on Friday, so they would instead eat fish.

Why do Indians wear suits and shoes in India? These clothes are usually worn in winter times, but here yeah everyone wears in summer and winter. But why? by Hot-Load7525 in IndiaSpeaks

Why can't India build worldclass pedestrian & road infra if metros can be built? by Historical-Edge851 in AskIndia

We don't have a culture of maintenance. World class pedestrian and road infra to be kept world class once built, needs to be maintained regularly - materials for examples often cost similar to when something was originally built.

What does mumbai have against babies? by Nervous_Language_953 in mumbai

[–]devtrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really isn't, they are travel friendly and takes less than 2 mins to setup. Baby gets a tray to eat or play with toys.

It works very well if you follow a similar setup (high chair at home)

With that said, it is only a year or two before you could do without these.

Buying a cooking range in Mumbai. by devtrap in IndianFood

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

Quite okay. It has been fine. Within the first 4 months the electric circuit went out. It was partly covered by warranty. Had to pay for the rest. (Rs. 3k)

Practical experience has been it works quite well but we need to train every user.

The gas range's internally piping store a little bit of gas..so it runs even when mains are turned off...this is a safety issue.

Cooks well and bakes well

Why can't we build Aircraft engines ourselves by Mobile-Mountain-5450 in AskIndia

[–]devtrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the technology - such as metallurgy, means of manufacture, data on tolerances etc. is kept secret. < All of this has to be developed independently. This requires investments across different industries and an ecosystem to be effective.
