As the July 31 deadline for filing Income Tax Return-2 (ITR-2) approaches, it’s that time of year when many people turn to their accountant friends or finance-savvy acquaintances for help. Let’s be honest, not everyone finds the filing process easy. So, when someone reached out to a not-so-close friend for assistance, the response they received was nothing short of legendary.
Manthan Raichura, a user on ‘X’, shared a screenshot of his WhatsApp chat with a friend who had asked for a favour. It started with a simple “Hello,” to which Manthan responded, curious about the sudden contact after so many days. Without missing a beat, the friend replied in Hindi, “Yes, I wanted to file the ITR.” Manthan then cut straight to the point, as was necessary: “Send details and fees,” he wrote. Naturally, the friend asked about the amount, and Manthan provided it.
That was it. The friend backed out, saying “let it be,” and the conversation ended right there.

This prompted Manthan to share the exchange on social media, expressing, “I take no shame in asking for ITR filing fees. It is that time of the year when some unrelated relatives and old disconnected “friends” will call/text for their selfish reason. Why should I feed my time to keep an inexistent relation?” The post quickly gained traction, sparking a variety of reactions.

One user commented, “Bhai i asked my CA friend to file only after you take money. It is his source of earning I can’t expect him to do it for free.” Another added, “Same for doctors bro! Why should such people be given free of cost treatment after spending so many years in medical training. Good one. Keep it up.” A third chimed in, “Good decision. There is no shame in asking for money when you are putting hardwork and your time.”
