oh Bloody screwed up country this is ....
The perk given to employee is going to be taxed and they want to implement it April 2009. The Govt should know that only the salaried are paying the taxes properly. They do not want even to wait to bring this in 2010 - http://www.business-standard.com/india/news/govt-widens-tax-net-for-perks-applicable-right-away-for-entire-year/380059
But on the other side, the MPs are allowed to travel with any number of relatives, which earlier was restricted to their family alone. Mr Chidambaram says that there is no financial implication (see the link http://www.hindu.com/2009/12/21/stories/2009122159320900.htm)
Of course, he is right – when he taxes perks, the Govt. is going to get billions of money that will meet the travel expense of bloody, useless, non-contributing MPs
