The odd part

Why seek a loan waiver when the Income Tax department already thinks you're a multi-national conglomerate?

What happened

A farmer in Ajmer, who barely earns enough to sustain his crops, was shocked to receive a tax notice for Rs 143 crore. While the department claims his PAN card was used for massive corporate transactions, the farmer maintains that his only liquid asset is the water in his well. This 'Wonders of India' moment highlights the government's visionary plan to turn every citizen into a billionaire on paper, even if they can't afford a new pair of slippers in reality.
