I got rejected from IBM for a senior role, after my salary discussion happened with the hiring manager. I didn’t ask for any substantial hike and the manager seemed okay with the numbers. The HR informed me that they have hired an internal candidate for the role. Howerver she also said that they are opening a position soon and I will be reconsidered for that. Is that a possibility or are they just saying it for feedback’s sake?

Hi Fishes,

An investment related query. I'm drawing 1 lac/month salary currently and serving notice period with lwd-26-Aug. So, do I need to show all the investment proofs that I declared here as it's only been 5 months in the fiscal year and PPF of 1 lac would make the 5 month salary (5 lacs) non-taxable, right? Please guide.
