Manthan Raichura posted a screenshot of a discussion he had with an acquaintance who had not contacted him in quite some time. The communication begins with the "friend" (as referred to by the user) casually starting a discussion before announcing his need to file his income tax return (ITR). Though caught off guard by the message, Raichuria proceeds to go with the flow.
When the person texting him brings up the request of getting his ITR filing done with his help, Raichuria asks him to share details and also pay a fee. “Achaa… fees dena hoga. Kitna? (Oh, I’ve to pay a fee? How much?),” the other person asks Raichuria.

To this, the latter quote an amount to be paid as fees to do the work. The “friend” hoped to get things done without a cost as they knew each other and when asked to pay a certain amount, he withdrew his request.
“Rehn de” (“leave it”) replied “friend” and ended their conversation.
The X user captioned this screenshot, "It is that time of the year when some unrelated relatives and old disconnected 'friends' will call or text for their selfish reason." He emphasizes that no one should be afraid to seek for compensation for their hard work and time.
