Three and a half months ago I filled out a simple application form to obtain my Indian PAN number. A PAN number is important as without it you can't sort out your tax affairs and you can't actually leave the country! Today I tried and failed to complete the form for the third time, my second attempt has already been rejected as I hadn't put brackets round one of the words in the office address. My third attempt today I was concentrating so hard on not messing it up....that I messed it up! Think I'll try again in the morning!
On leaving the office, I mentioned the Management teams inability to complete a simple form, the response was 'that is why we use an agent'. It is funny to think that a whole industry is supported by the pen pushing bureaucracy, however it does create jobs and move money round the system and when I have a heart attack from the stress bought on by trying to complete a simple form I'll keep the Dr and Nurses in work too!
