Bangalore pays second highest direct taxes in the country 04/01/08 00:03 - mcadambi
According to the new RBI report on Municipal Finances in India, as indexed in the recent Budget speech of BBMP, Municipal finances of Bangalore rank very low. What is startling is that even tough we pay the second highest share of direct taxes (i.e personal taxes like what you and me pay out of our salary), it has no correlation with the per capita municipal tax.

Bus turnouts are bus stop areas that are recessed from the thoroughfare. The turnout provides an en route bus with an off-street service point that does not interfere with traffic movement and provides a safe waiting area for transit users. [flickr-photo:id=2372278583,size=m]

Questions for BIAL (The first List) 03/29/08 13:15 - narayan82I have compiled the list of questions. As predicted there are LOTS! Practically I dont think BIAL will have the time to answer each and every one of them! After a point they would care too much about doing so. I suggest we condensing it by trying to answer them ourselves. If it is still not a convincing answer then we can go ahead with it. person narayan82's post | forum 20 Comments | Read More
