Stop complaining start using your right as owner of the country. If the system is slow, it is becuae of the people of this country. Get real start thinking like the people and owner of the country. This is your right as Tax payer to get a pan card. I have seen the state of tax office. It is all in mess. NDTV and Aaaj Tak if they do a real search of Tax Offices, they will have wonderful stories. No one knows where is what?
There is big scoop waiting in tax offices - state of tax offices..only people sitting in cabin look fine but people who are outside are in real junkyards or zoo. I saw mices, cat and whole of loads of animals in some of tax offices in the country. So dont expect a PAN Card so easily.
Abhi Jaldi kyaa hain bhai..wait for some more years for things to happen.
