M P CALCULATOR

Well, I hope  Sir, you may be with the family be in good health. While looking at the downloaded copy of the Mediclaim Premium Reckoner , I find some corrections to be made at Cell No. 5 in columns F & L, and Cell No. I11 in Category I. Similarly the mistake has been taken to Category II, for Cells F & L-5, and to Category III to  Cell L5.    I have carried the corrections in the file I have prepared for me,  and during the said action I have made a gesture to alter the format. Please forgive me, I am neither  competent at all, nor an expert do so, but for my record I have selected to carry out the changes.  The file is appended for perusal only.

TRIBUTE TO SRI R.K.SAHNI FOR HIS BLOG CROSSING 27,00,000 HITS: MAMMOTH ACHIEVEMENT

TRIBUTE TO SRI R.K.SAHNI FOR HIS BLOG CROSSING 27,00,000 HITS: MAMMOTH ACHIEVEMENT

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) I am sorry to have missed the Landmark 27.00.000,climbed by Sri RKSahni Blog, as I was unwell with Cellulitis & legswelling intensified & also to lot of time spent on proliferation of WhatsApp ,which combines the serious with the ordinary,joyous & happy with flippancy & despair,high watermark of excellence with mundane stuff & sarcasm & unwanted insertions at unwanted places, a medley indeed.But none can beat WhatsApp in speed & emergent news & quickest transmission & exchange of views. But for Sri RKSahni, the caravan ever moves on,fast, faster & fastest.Magic figure of 27,00,000 is laudable & he deserves all approbration

2)13,00,000 by 7/2017, 21,00,000 by 12 /2018 ,look at high jump in just 17 months,again yet another tireless,variegated non-stop insertions,only hampered by Corona mobility ,some stuck up where they visited, leap forward to 27,00,000 by 3 August 2020, indeed RKS combines the 50:50 ,with 20:20 & races with IPL Cricket Clouters & hardhitters to win whatever he intends to & so goes on the murmuring brook, to pools, to lakes, to seas & to Ocean of Knowledge,Enlightenment,Entertainment,Flashes, Festivals Highlights, News & Views, Articles, Critical Assessments, Queries & Replies in his Blog & wonderful, timely interventions in WhatsApp whereever necessary .

3)We must be deeply indebted to him for the Fountain of Thought he creates with his prompt,magical Charts & Tables, & the interpretation thereof to know the in-depth significance of Anamolies or Discrimination such inputs produces stressing & asserting the harm & loss management or Court action produces ,denying the modest, genuine & legitimate demands of aged pensioners.Ever so many new facets he introduced with ease & aplomb of ITRates pre & post Budget assessment for the reader,taxpayer, pensioner to choose the correct rates ,as that confirmation will hold good for future.

4) Profuse thanx to RKS for the updates on Indias progress & any number of commentaries he included & the very critical latest announcements on Covid19 calamity hanging like a ghost here, there,everywhere & the precautions & accessories to be used to come out unscathed with tests proving negative.We need such selfless activists to highlight issues,segregate essentials from non-essentials & make it easy for readers to know & appreciate the crux of the matter.We wish RKS long life with pink of health & vigour & to all his family members ,who are the source of inspiration in all his endeavours.

YET ANOTHER BIG CLIMB

Dear Sri Sahni, Yesterday itself I hinted in advance u are hitting 9,00,000 hits in so short a time that ur worthy Blog, befitting its real reflection of all pensioners welfare & progress, titled, PENSIONERS VOICE & SOUNDTRACK is really performimg an uphill task of daily work & assignment assiduously, without break, all for the cause of pensioners constant education to be alive & aware of environment, rights & privileges, Dos & Donts, to preserve, protect & promote their own interests.They are deeply indebted to you for ur stubborn commitment to the endearing cause & wholesale dedication to communicate all relevant info & news to pensioners. A simple matter of CPIndex & announcement of DR slabs becomes a great news for jubilation.TPA cards & how to preserve, utilise, submit Claim forms & fup with Pension Disbursing office & TPA is educative & reduces uncertainty.Those who utilised Cashless service feel all they thought of as rigorous & impossible, with some care & advance precaution becomes fairly comfortable.We all exercised our own option for OSA,Optional SA & feel secure.Wideembracing topics interrelated with similar issues of Govt employees, banks etc keep us awake & alert.All these would have been impossible for pensioners to know & they would have continued to live in an impoverished way for lack of info or updated news.This is where Blog steps in to fill vacuum & Sri RKSahni has breathed fresh news all thro the day with aplomb,distinction, speed & accuracy My heartiest congratulations to u for this NOBLE work u do as a labour of LOVE & Sacrifice ,at great personal cost & indeed if ur Blog travels remarkably fast in readership, it is a Pointer to many more significant laurels in 2017.May the New year dawn with glitter & lustre & you occupy preeminent position,as even as an infant Blog, u have captured an alluring & marvellous feat.Profound thanx & best wishes to u to climb up & up, farther & farther Greetings, RBKISHORE VP,AIRIEF
