This is the salary, The Govt of Tamilnadu gives me: My latest pay slip( after nearly 3 decades of service, MCh degree & 275 kidney transplants ). U can see that the Gross is 1.6 lacs,& take home is 1.3 lacs. The correct salary must be much,much more than 2.5 lacs, but clerical corruption in the TN Health Dept hs limited it to this. As a rule, I never give bribes, so I suffer.
