The odd part
A bureaucratic masterstroke requiring deceased founders to return from the grave to fix clerical errors.
What happened
India's Income Tax Department has reached a new spiritual high by demanding that charitable trusts update their old deeds to include an 'irrevocability' clause, even when the original founders died decades ago. The department has threatened to revoke tax exemptions unless dead men tell no tales—and sign new papers. Legal experts are now suggesting that trust offices be moved to cemeteries to facilitate easier 'consultations' with the departed settlors. The I-T department maintains that death is a weak excuse for not being compliant with the new 2026 Tax Act.
