BRO.,

THIS IS WHERE "SELF-MOTIVATION" COMES INTO PLAY. DONT TRY TO BLAME OTHERS BY SAYING NO ONE IS IN THE CABIN. U JUST TRY TO APPLY YOUR OWN MIND IN THE GIVEN WORK . AND SURE., U WILL FIND YOUR OWN WAY.

Then., try and focus on areas such as TDS and Service Tax (Abatement)........... also try to report your observations in a brand new way as far as possible (instead just preparing reports by thru - cut copy paste) in excel or word ............

Dude,,, this is a transport co.,, they are exempted from TDS ,, u'll hardly get entries related to TDS,, are reporting system is predefined,, we enter our queries in the software,, so cant do any innovation...............
