If an item costs 10rs to manufacture, I have to pay 20 for it and you receive for 2rs. Worse so, is that you first took the item from the public shelf without proper due diligence, then "paid" for it via your employees who would pay 2rs before anyone else does..and then at the end I end up paying those employees 30 for it. Legal, yet theft.
Sorry sir, i dont get anything for Rs 2 for which you have paid Rs 20. Instead, i pay exactly the same for a let's say PTCL connection as you guys do. Heck, as opposed to you, i have to pay the installation charges EVERY time i get posted out to a new place, which i believe were paid by you once in a life time when you first received your connection.
Just to give another example, i receive exactly the SAME Sui Southern/Northern Gas bill printed on the same form as you guys do. Heck, instead i pay more as every time i get posted to a new place i have to pay the GSD anew! GSD, which you have paid for only once.
2 years ago i was at station A, i paid the entire amount of GSD in installments as per the procedure. A year after i was at station B, and was paying the same GSD once again.
Now GSD, as you must know is a step against the consumer in case he defaults, and a civilian who is living at one place has to pay it once in his life time. i instead have to pay it every time i move to a new station.
Just to let you know, i have paid approx Rs 30K additional (over and above the gas bill just as you did normally) in the garb of GSD just during the last 2 years! Did you?
Unfortunately, i would have to keep on paying this GSD in future too, which you would not. Do i mourn about it? Yes. But then i accept it as 'it comes with the job.'
In 2010, i had to pay installation charges for PTCL THRICE in one year. Something which you or your parents must have paid decades ago ONCE when they got their PTCL connection. i say so, coz i know my parents back home have paid it only once when they first installed a PTCL.
Take this case, for e.g. The allotment of a plot as benefit for 6 months service. How does a commercial plot be justified as a reward for 6 months service for what is essentially sitting in the chair post? A memento might have sufficed if this was across the border.. but not here.
SHC moved against illegal allotment of plots in DHA | Pakistan Today
Lt Gen Sajjad Ghani who, according to him, was allotted plot at Zamzama Commercial Phase V, DHA, after he completed six months of service as DHA’s executive board president. “Ghani was appointed as Corps Commander on November 19, 2013, and his service would expire in October 2014,” the petitioner said.
My brother who works in Atlas Honda receives a bonus every 3 months, i dont complain.
My wife who once worked in a private company was receiving additional amount whenever there was profit above the target, i didnt complain.
Heck, the UNO was formed a month before the VE Day and the US and others got the permanent seats there and since have been 'preventing' wars around the wold, and i still dont complain!
Now, i know you would say that it is DHAs, yeah it is, but it is a 'private' organization being run on profits earned through the market where not a single penny of taxpayers' money is utilized, heck they want to give a plot after a month of service, why should you or i complain?
