March 23, 2025 at 11:13 amIllegal, rarely enforced (almost never) for four wheelers, more commonly enforced for two wheelers. Children are not counted as extra passengers.What is the nature of the short trip and number of extra passengers? For the sake of comfort it is best to not exceed capacity.

March 8, 2025 at 6:08 pmErr if you hadn’t noticed, there is a disciplinary action going on against her and she could lose her entire pension, or a significant enough chunk. I’m not sure you realise what is at stake here.March 8, 2025 at 5:29 pm in reply to: My Mother (State Govt Employee) Lost 55 Lakhs in Bribes—What Can We Do Now? #39405MMaheshdude221

March 8, 2025 at 5:29 pmUntil very recently, Rs.1.5 lpm was an absolutely humoungous amount of money too. Growing up in the 2000s we used to think 50k a month was huge.
There wasn’t any of that lifestyle creep that we have today. Holidays meant going to hometown or somewhere in India on LTC. The family car (if any) was a Wagon R/Alto.To add to it, this is a woman employee. It is likely her husband was working in a similar or higher paying govt/private job. Atleast from my experience, women employees from that era tended to save almost all of their salaries. FDs were the intstrument of choice but the more adveturous ones put some in mutual funds and got even more gains.

March 8, 2025 at 5:18 pmYour arguments are quite nonsensical. Yes she has made a mistake now but that doesn’t mean her wealth was ill gotten in the first place.She very likely has a lot more saved up. People end up with crores of Rs in their GPF. If they are saving even half as much in FDs, that adds up to a lot.

March 8, 2025 at 5:13 pmA clean employee can very easily save up a lot more than that. Corrupt ones could have properties worth tens of crores.Govt employees (atleast upto mid level) tend to live simpler lives while being on decent salaries, they live in govt colonies and get support for childrens education and healthcare, and also some travelling, there is none of that partying and money burning that happens in the case of young IT employees. There’s a lot of savings. Once they buy a house or two, the rest goes into FDs or other liquid instruments.
How the hell does one go through 30-40 years of service in a decent position, earning a good salary and not save up that much? Those in the 50s today have enjoyed a golden run in particular. Joined service in the 90s, got benefits of the 5th, 6th and 7th CPCs and could get the 8th now.

March 2, 2025 at 5:38 pmMost times I have done pickups at departures itself. But if you want to be extra safe, you can ask them to completely exit the station and take the short walk towards the corner at Ambassador hotel.
Alternatively let them take the metro and pickup from any other station of your choice.March 2, 2025 at 2:17 pm in reply to: Is it safe to carry CBD oil(medical cannabis) in train. #43529MMaheshdude221

February 5, 2025 at 8:31 amDrop the cheque in bank, let it bounce and file case against him. Cheque bounce is punishable by prison sentence. If he has funds, he will quickly repay you to settle this.Get a lawyer quickly. These things have time limits.
