Selfie spoilsports: The taxman is going to snoop on the pictures you post on Facebook 😜

A worried-looking Chintoo talking to his pal, Pintoo.

Chintoo: Arre Pintoo, have you read that report in TOI that those taxwalas are spying on us by looking at the photos that we post on Facebook?

Pintoo: Why don’t they look at their own pictures on Facebook if they want to do time pass?

Chintoo: Oof, oh. The taxwalas are not looking at our Facebook selfies to do time pass. They are looking at our Facebook selfies so that they can raid our houses.

Pintoo: Raid our houses? I didn’t know putting selfies on Facebook has become a crime. Has anyone informed Mark Zuckerbergji about this?

Chintoo: No, no, bewakoof. Putting selfies on Facebook is not a crime. But having concealed income is a crime. And that’s why the taxwalas will raid our houses.

Pintoo: But how will the taxwalas know we have concealed income by looking at our selfies?

Chintoo: How? Simple. When do you take selfies? When you go on that super deluxe holiday in Switzerland. Or throw a party at a 5-star hotel for 300 friends. Or pose in front of that new Merc. Right? So how come you pay zero income tax and can yet go on that Swiss holiday, throw that party, buy that Merc? That’s how the taxwalas know you have concealed income and raid your house.

Pintoo: What spoilsports! What’s the point of a Swiss holiday, or a 5-star party, or a new Merc if you can’t take selfies to put on Facebook. But I’ve got an idea. We can still take selfies of our holidays, and parties, and cars and put them on Facebook after photoshopping someone else’s face on our face. Then that guy’s house will get raided, not ours.

Chintoo: What a genius idea!

Chintoo and Pintoo, both thinking: I know whose face I’ll photoshop: his.
