Hey everyone,

Looking for genuine side hustle suggestions in India. I already work long hours in IT, so I can only spare a little time daily.

Not interested in scams, MLMs, paid courses, or anything where I need to invest money upfront.

Just hoping to earn some extra income honestly. Would really appreciate practical suggestions from people with real experience 🙏

Hey everyone,

I genuinely need some advice regarding side hustles in India.

I already work a full-time IT job and my schedule is pretty hectic (12+ hours most days including some weekends), so realistically I can only give around 1–2 hours a day max.

I’m not looking for “get rich quick” stuff or anything where I need to invest/pay someone upfront. I specifically want to avoid scams, MLMs, fake courses, trading gurus, etc.

Just looking for honest and practical ways to earn a little extra income online/offline that actually work in India for someone with limited free time.

Would really appreciate genuine suggestions from people who are actually doing something similar.

Thanks a lot 🙏

Can anyone please suggest which repo has all the Pokemon dubbed seasons in order all of them?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice on my tax planning for the current financial year. Here are my details:

• Gross Total Income: ₹19,25,002
• Current Status: New Tax Regime (Default)
• Estimated Tax (New Regime): ~₹1,92,402
• Current Expenses/Investments:
  • Rent: ₹2,76,000 annually (₹23k/month)
  • Investments: No ELSS currently. Only "random" Mutual Funds and Stocks (mostly non-deductible).
  • NPS: Considering starting this now for the deductions.

The Dilemma: I’m trying to figure out if I should stick with the New Regime or switch to the Old Regime.

1. HRA vs. New Slabs: With a rent of ₹2.76L, I could claim HRA in the Old Regime. However, I’m not sure if this (plus 80C/80D/NPS) will be enough to beat the lower slabs of the New Regime.
2. NPS: If I opt for NPS, does it make a significant dent in the New Regime? (I know 80CCD(1B) of ₹50k isn't available in New, but what about 80CCD(2) employer contributions?)
3. Break-even Point: What is the total deduction amount I need to reach in the Old Regime to make it cheaper than the New Regime for my income bracket?

My Questions:

• Should I move to the Old Regime and start maxing out 80C (ELSS/PPF) and 80D (Insurance)?
• Is NPS worth it primarily for tax saving at this 19L+ bracket?
• Given the standard deduction is now ₹75,000 in the New Regime (for FY 2026-27), does the Old Regime even stand a chance?

Would love to hear from anyone in a similar bracket or any tax experts here. Thanks!
