I used to program with Global vars then $HTTP_POST_VARS and then $_POST and even did a foreach to convert all Posted/Get-ed vars to their respective variable names. But I never faced any issue till the time I started using error_reporting(E_ALL).
My life changed. Initially I started pulling my hairs and then I realised that I will be bald very soon and then started concentrating on writing better code. Avoiding on the fly variables. Yesterday at work, I again realised the value of  error_reporting(E_ALL).I created a small piece of code and tested it in a temp php file. It looked superb. I ported the code to production environment and it started breaking. I thought for a while. May be I have introduced some parse errors. I ran a php -l test and didnt see any syntax error. I read the whole code line by line. Even did a diff. Still the temporary php code was running fine and the code in production environment was not working fine. :-/

I decided to look at the code bit later. After a break of 15 minutes I decided to write a unit test and capture everything. And then I found a notice message telling me I was accessing an index that didn’t exist. I looked at my data set. It was a long range of number, 6184 to be precise and an index value 280 was not set. I looked at my temp file and found my code was not going thru error reporting and production environment was set up to halt at all notices and warnings. Damn it!

Now I must do some maths. I pay around 70K INR annually as income tax that too after saving more than 100K INR. There are 1000 more like me in my present organisation who pay at least 70K INR as taxes.

Now 70K x 1K = 70,000 K INR i.e. 7,00,00,000 INR or in Hindi 7 Crore Rupees just from one company.

Now multiply this with 100 and 700 Crore Rupees is the minimum amount that is being paid as Income Tax by people working in Noida. Visit Noida to experience

  • Traffic problems
  • Always Interrupted Power Supply
  • Crumbling infrastructure
  • Insecure neighborhoods, girls be aware.
  • Corruption, can be experienced in any city in India

These are just few things. One can write a complete book on this issue but I have just two observations.

  1. If TDP is going to spend money in purchasing colour TV sets for poors they will obviously not have enough money for anything else.
  2. If my money isn’t spent on right purpose I am justfied in evading Income Tax.

Long live India. :)
