Mr M called again..he says mom has some FD of 1 lacs..which can be surrendered after march 31st..

Yeah, even i think she has...He told me how in 2008 mumma had gone rushing to him on march 30th, for filing her IT dues..31st was the last date..and he says, while preparing her papers in only a day, he had also advised her for investing, as otherwise, she would have ended paying up some 3 lacs...

But mumma, on the contrary, wanted to donate the 2 lacs she had then to some public hospital..as that would not just get her tax reliefs, it would help the needy too..

But according to Mr M, he had somehow managed to convince her against it..at least partly..he says mumma had donated only 1 lac, and had invested the rest..

And Mr. M also thinks she could not have possibly surrendered it midway, because it was not a flexifix..it cannot be surrendered before 2011..He was totally sure of it, since he said he himself had done the paper-works..mumma had only signed..

Yeah, i remember..mumma had donated the amount to Modi's trust...But where are the bond papers for the FD..i had searched her cupboard and other things while in patna..it's not there..

I dont even have any clues about the policy number..or anything that can help me get duplicate papers issued..Even Mr M doesnt have a photocopy..it was the last day for filing IT..and he himself had to hush hush things..

So now what?

Our stocks are going to last till only March 31st..unless her retirement dues are released before that..but thats expecting too much..it's Bihar, and in some ways, things just dont change there..

But 31st march is also the day when the policy can be surrendered..so?
Is this some arrangement by the Gods?
