. 'I Was Programmed to Be A Genius' MUMBAI: Tathagat Avatar Tulsi's parents merely smiled when their son was named among the world's seven most gifted youngsters in 2003; they had, after all, planned for it well before he was born. Indeed, in the realms of sci-fi, he would be known as a programmed child.   Prof Tulsi Narayan Prasad, an advocate at the Supreme Court and a serious practitioner of astro-genetics, had to fight the world around him when he proposed that the sex of a to-be-born child could be manipulated. He proved his theory right by declaring well in advance that he was going to have a male child.   "The sceptics brushed it off as an act of nature. I decided to have another male child. And, when that too happened, people stopped making snide remarks. Somewhere around that time I thought of producing a genius child," he told TOI with a smile on the day 22-year-old Tathagat passed through the portals of IIT as its youngest faculty. Tathagat,

Income-tax Department is a large department dealing with the public.  In such a department, there are bound to be occasions when the tax payers are aggrieved by the actions or defaults of the officers of the Department.  What do they do they approach for redressal of their grievances? There is, of course, the elaborate appellate machinery of the Department.  If a tax payer is aggrieved by an order of the assessing officer, he can go in appeal to the Deputy Commissioner (Appeals) or commissioner (Appeals).  If he is not satisfied, he can go to the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal and thereafter to the High Court and to the Supreme Court.  He can also file a revision petition before the Commissioner, The appellate machinery has stood the test of time and has been quite successful in redressing the grievances of the tax payers arising out of the order of the assessing officers.

A large   number of people   whose tax is deducted at source did not get   the payments   credited which, in turn, held up refunds.   It was because the National Securities and Depositories Limited (NSDL), which accounts   the tax   receipts, could not record   the payments   as I-T returns of many did not carry the permanent account number (PAN). In some cases,   the returns   were not   filed   at all, said a statement issued by the   income tax   department. The drive, which will continue till July, will enable   the tax   payers to file returns and also update those already   filed   with corrected PAN.   The department   has asked the assessees to utlilise the online facility to confirm whether the amount is
