CA Poonam Pathak

Many times, when I talk to people discussing life issues what I realised cause of disappointment and sadness is:

They are stuck in the littleness of life.

We get trapped in small comparisons.
Small expectations.
Small fears.
Small conflicts.
Small versions of ourselves.
And in that littleness, we forget how expansive our capabilities truly are.

When we shrink our thinking, we shrink our possibilities.

When we hold on to minor setbacks, fleeting opinions, or temporary failures, we distance ourselves from the strengths, talents, and potential that are already within us.

The truth is:
We are not unhappy because we lack ability.
We are unhappy because we block our ability with limitations we’ve accepted as reality.

Life expands the moment you do.

NRIs & Income Tax in India – Know Where You Get the Slab Benefit!

Not all incomes are treated equally when it comes to tax slab benefits for NRIs.
Here’s a quick guide on:
Incomes where NRIs are eligible for slab benefit
Key restrictions NRIs must be aware of (like no 87A rebate, no 80TTB)

If you're an NRI earning in India — salary, rent, business income or interest — this summary is a must-see before filing your returns.

Every year, many taxpayers receive notices—not because of wrong income reported—but because of using the wrong ITR form.

Choosing the correct form is not optional—it’s crucial.

Whether you’re salaried, an NRI, an investor, or a business owner—there’s a specific form designed for your case.

✅ File right. Stay compliant. Avoid unnecessary scrutiny.

Hard work,Vision, Leadership and the courage to take responsibility.
