I'm not too crazy about my relatives. I love my immediate family. But don't you look at your relatives, and you can't believe you're actually related to these people? I give blood four times a year just so I'm less and less related to these people.
In this article, we will discuss two tools, which, if used optimally, can save you heavy taxes. When used simultaneously, they create an amazing synergy in tax savings. The first tool is your basic tax threshold. Readers would know that the first Rs 1,10,000 of income is exempt from tax. For non-senior women, the limit is Rs 1,45,000. For senior citizens (65 plus), the limit is Rs 1,95,000. So f

There are many Canadians who don't update their will and estate plans on a regular basis or upon significant life changes, but even worse there are those of us who do not have a will at all! I thought I would point out that if you die intestate (without a "last will and testament"), and you have no living blood relatives then your entire estate goes to your provincial government.Suggestion: write a simple holograph will (a will written and signed by you in your own handwriting). It doesn't require witnesses, but there are some drawbacks if your estate is complex and if you make directions that are not accurate or allowed. You can name me as the beneficiary of your estate (after-tax please!). Or, you know, a charity or a friend.I think these are all better options than leavin

I think during budget of financial year 2007-08, there was new Tax benefit entered for - If Individual takes education loan for children of relatives, he can get tax benefit on interest of Loan taken. To be specific about my query, I want to take Education Loan for my sisters children ( Nephew ). As they need it and I can afford the same. The idea is to help those who are in need.Will it be possible to get TAX benefit as they are not my children. Nikesh Jani An individual was eligible for deduction of interest on educational loan only for his higher studies till FY 2006-07 . So, a father who was taking educational loan for his children, could not claim deduction u/s 80E . Budget 2007 brought the pleasant change in section 80E to insert the term 'relative' .

Today was DaddyPapersurfer’s birthday. I know it’s still “today” for me, and you’re probably wondering if I’ve been dipping into the cooking sherry to say today was… but in DaddyPapersurferland, it’s already almost tomorrow morning.
So today was his birthday.
Alas, I’ve been at meetings this evening and though here I am now, discovering the old geezer bouncing birthday boy had a special day, I feel that despite offering him a shipment of pads in response to his galloping trots dilemna, that I really ought to get him something else. Something… a little more special and memorable.
Because fracas does special thing for special people.
I’ve searched out sexy women jumping out of cakes, whacked out crazy birthday cakes and even a hot air balloon cake for some of the fraccy friends. If I know about your day, probably I’ll try find you something special too.
So Daddy deserves something special for sure.

Dear All, Fiona Woolard is vindictive MSBP.com poster and poison pen writer who has held a long standing vendetta against doctors. She has also held a long standing vendetta against Lisa Blakemore Brown. I have recently read her posting on Yahoo groups sometime ago and her subsequent role in the revenge against Lisa Blakemore Brown. This is not to mention the consistent inaccurate material she writes on various people. Prior to my GMC referral she suggested that her medical relatives were watching my conduct. That may be so but it is vital for us as doctors to find out who exactly her medical relatives are. Actually, so that we can avoid them.We know Professor SIR Charles George whose connnection she used at the GMC against me is one of her relatives. We would like to know who her relatives are as we believe internal information about doctors is at risk of being leaked through this msbp.com group and to the General Medical Council. Her medical relatives are known to populate the Midlan
I spent the weekend with some very important people in my life - my aunts and my cousins. It's my practice at our annual get-together to boss around my cousins as they sous-chef, while I create breakfast magic. It's wonderful because my powers in the kitchen are undisputed THERE (and only there). The Aunts love whatever is produced and one cousin bears the brunt of the grunt work and another cleans up. I just stride around barking orders and finishing each dish (and taking full credit, of course). This year, we needed a slightly quicker and less involved production. So, I went with Tyler's Ultimate Pancakes. (In the more than 15 years that I've been providing breakfast for the weekend, I have NEVER made pancakes before. But these just looked amazing.)Well, YOU MUST MAKE THESE! To be honest, the best part wasn't the pancakes, it was the accoutrements. The single most exciting element, I felt, was the roasted prosciutto. This was a real revelation. Tyler lays slices of prosciutto

Last night, my feelings were deeply hurt by an experience with a friend I've known for years. Writing about it made me feel much better but I decided to delete it this morning. The incident is less important than my response, which I do plan on leaving in this blog. As I relaxed in my bubble bath afterwards, I composed the following letter (in my mind, which I won't send) to my friends and relatives.Dear Non-Bipolar Friends and Relatives:I've been thinking a lot lately about what it has meant to be bipolar for so many years. And I've recently come to some realizations that I'd like to share with you.Even though I emailed many of you about my blog, few of you have told me that you've read it or if you have, you've barely mentioned it. None of you have posted comments. Only my aunt in Texas has said that she's really enjoyed what I've written.How do you think that makes me feel? Two days ago, I recorded my 100th post. I've made an entire community of new friends. I'v

Someone Asked on this BlogWould there will be any impact of Income tax if a father, mother, brother EACH gives Rs 100000/- to the daughter of the family?( Gift deed gets Noterized gift made )By ca_rohit06@yahoo.co.inThere will not be any impact on Income tax of anybody if Gift is given to any relative[daughter and sister are one of those relations] after 1/9/2004 .The only thing to remember that the Gift should be out of known source of income . What I mean is that whoever gives gift should be able to prove, if he or she is required to prove, the source of gift money .Otherwise , if the Return of Donne or donor is scrutinized , A.O may treat as income of the person who he considers having concealed income.

*The police aren't the only ones frustrated by Busta Rhymes and his refusal to cooperate with the investigation into the shooting of his bodyguard, Israel Ramirez.
According to the New York Daily News, Ramirez's family is now completely through with the entertainer and has branded him a bold face liar.
"We really don't want anything to do with that man," Ramirez's sister, Sonia Rodriguez, 44, told the Daily News. "He could stop breathing tomorrow, and I wouldn't care. Whatever happens to Busta Rhymes is not going to bring back my
brother."
The family's ire is rooted in a phone call they say came from Busta months after Ramirez was gunned down on the Brooklyn set of the artist's remix video for "Touch It.†According to the family, Busta was emotional and assured them that he was cooperating with police. However, it has been widely reported that Busta is a devotee of "no snitching†street justice and has kept his mouth shut around inves
