Re: [pakgrid] Withdrawal of tax exemption: Teachers, researchers berate decision

Dear Afzal,

Faculty members are humans and like in any other sizable group of humans, you will have people abusing the system. This does not mean that all faculty are bad.

I am all for identifying miscreants and subjecting them to strict disciplinary measures, as with any other criminal.

Your favoring the tax-raise just because you have had bad experience with some faculty is vindictive. A better safeguard would be to recommend measures to prevent abuse.

Best regards,

Waqar

AOA All,

First of all if every common man is paying tax, than it is greater responsibility of teachers to pay tax in full also.

I had worked in the university infrastructures also and my conclusion is "These days these so called university teachers are no more than businessmen, who do business on the basis of their profession(which is considered pure)".

According to government policy, if some one is working in an government organization, then he can not work in any other. But this groups gets pays from the universities and beside this, they get huge amount from projects being funded by ICT or other organizations. Beside this, the people working on those projects merely receive 15000 to 20000 Rs and that too after being an MS graduate. If these people demand such concessions from government, then there should also a minimum level being set the people working on the projects.

The major part of the amount dedicated for the projects, goes to the corrupt people(who are sitting in every other university). There should also be strict check on the fulfillment of the project requirements. Like the university, from which Dr Amir Hayat belongs, a project with the title Software Defined Radio of worth approx 15million was assigned to it in 2008. Had it completed yet. Similarly, in 2009 same university got the USB project of worth 35 million, had it completed. and there are many other examples like these.
Similarly, many of the Project Directors are reported to illegally transfer project's amount in some students accounts and then getting it back in form checks. The point is that teachers have to set high moral examples, not like these.

Absolutely! I even go one step further. Engineers are more susceptible to brain drain than teachers. If this is the logic, then we also need tax break.
