'Why should I feed my time?' : Friends says 'rehne de' when CA aspirant demanded fee for ITR filing

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.

I take no shame in asking for ITR filing fees. It is that time of the year when some unrelated relatives and old disconnected "friends" will call/text for their selfish reason. Why should I feed my time to keep an inexistent relation? #ITR #ITRseason pic.twitter.com/3VotKFzTOz
