kmc and negligenceBy: k.madhukar | Thursday , 9 Jul '09 11:32:19 AM Reply | Forward Removed from duty means what?What about disciplinary action against the erring employee?

Can I approach the Govt and make a request that they not deduct taxes form my earnings- because anyway you are not using it to good effect!!
