After the attacks of September 11, a company that had its offices at the World Trade Center invited its executives and employees who had for some reason survived the attack to share their experiences.
1/n
People were alive for the smallest reasons were small details like these:
- The director of a company was late because it was his son's first kindergarten day;
- A woman was delayed because her alarm clock didn't ring in time;
2/n
- One was late because he was stuck on the road where there was an accident
- Another survivor missed the bus
- Someone threw food on themselves and needed the time to change
- One had a problem with his car, which did not start
- Another one returned to answer the phone
3/n
- Another one had a baby
- Another didn't get a taxi
- But the story that impressed the most was that of a man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, and before he got to work he had a blister. He stopped at the pharmacy for a band aid and that's why he's alive today
4/n
- Now when I get stuck in traffic; - when I lose an elevator;
- when I return to answering a phone;
And many other things that desperate me, I think first:
′′ This is the exact place you should be right now "
5/n
- Next time your morning seems crazy, the kids take time to get dressed, don't find the car keys, find all the red lights.
- don't get angry or frustrated.
YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE... AT THE EXACT TIME

Thoughts shared by a Senior Chartered Accountant yesterday
The work is slipping out of hands like sand but inaction is at its height.
What an irony that the motto of our ICAI is ‘Ya Aeshu Suptaeshu Jagruti’ which means ‘a person who is awake in those that sleeps’ but..
1/n
but it seems that what is happening is just opposite to it.
In last few years we have been witnessing continuous dent in the traditional practice work. Be it reduction in bank statutory audit work or increase in tax audit limit or introduction of faceless schemes and..
2/n
and at last the removal of requirement of GST audit.
And now encouraged with no/bleek objection from ICAI, the Government seems to be thinking of doing away with audit of companies of certain categories.

- RIL paid only ₹1,722 Cr tax in FY 2020-21 as compared to ₹13,726 Cr in FY 2019-20

Why Reliance’s ETR was so down and how did it managed to save such huge sum of tax within the legal boundaries.
There are Mainly 3 Reasons as per explanation given by RIL to BusinessLine on it: 1. Loss on Merger with RHUSA 2. SEZ Allowance 3. Carried Forward Losses

1. Loss on Merger with RHUSA
RIL merged its US subsidiary RHUSA (Reliance Holding USA) with it, and recognized a loss of ₹33,217 Cr on merger. Due to this, there was an increment in deferred tax assets of RIL by ₹8,517 Cr.
