Thanks John for the summary. 

Hope your social work is going well in Gurgaon.

Personally, I feel they need to make the Tax Return form as one page only with only 5 columns to fill out.

Massive simplification is needed to reach the masses.

The Saral form does exactly this. I used to file my return on the Saral form many years ago. It's a little like the 1040-EZ form here.
