PepperWater is proud to announce some major upgrades in the website. The biggest upgrade is that you can now log in with your Facebook user name and password. If you use both Facebook and PepperWater you can now log in with one user name and password. Just click on the Facebook Connect button on the right.
The advantage of logging in with your Facebook ID is that you can update your status message either on PepperWater or Facebook and it will be updated in both places. You get to keep the best of both worlds - The global features of Facebook and the more focussed sense of community on PepperWater.
Many other new features have been included in this update and you will notice them as you browse along. You will also notice the Activity bar on the right that tells you immediately whats been going on on PW.
Lastly, if you are concerned about using your Facebook ID on PW, don't be. Your password will never be compromised. Facebook handles the log in - not PepperWater. So your user name and password is as safe as Facebook promises it to be.

If you have been receiving emails or reading about this - it is untrue. There has not been any official declaration of this No news article, nothing even on the official websites. Secondly that is just plain absurd. Below is the story that is spreading.
5% Tax on Foreign Income for NRI's Starting 2009 -10 Government of India today announced imposition of a flat 5% tax on all NRIs over their world-wide income. Income that is already taxed in India has been kept out of the purview to avoid double taxation. No double taxation benefits would be available for this 5% tax, meaning even if you are paying tax on your income in a country with which India has double taxation agreement, the benefit would not be allowed against this 5% tax. All those Indians who are holding Indian Passports and have been out of the country for more than 180 days during the year are under this requirement. Income proof would have to be submitted in form of employer certificates, foreign tax filings etc. Indian government is also coordinating with Australia, Europe, America, UAE and other countries on collecting Income data for its citizens as part of data sharing initiative on terror prevention measures.
This has been hailed as bringing in compulsory participation in development of India from Non resident Indians.. This means NRIs can no more just continue to retain their Indian citizenship without paying taxes in India. Though it may not be favorable in view of the NRIs who already bring substantial forex in form of remittances and Investments. This is bound to cause a lot of heart burn for the Indian community residing outside..
This is expected to generate ~10 Billion INR tax collection for the government in the year 2009-10.. For more information on this rule, tax filings and forms visit http://www.incometaxindia.gov.in/
If you haven't seen this yet.. it's an hilarious translation of what this guy thinks they are saying. This is pretty old but a goldie nonetheless! Enjoy!
