There were reports in some section of the media that Parthiv has applied for the post of MTS which many believe is the post of a glorified peon with a salary of Rs 15,000.
"Let me clarify, Parthiv earns a monthly salary in the tune of Rs 1 lakh from Reliance where he has a contract for another 10 years. My son never approached for a job in I-T department. The offer came from that side," a disgusted Patel senior told PTI over telephone from Ahmedabad.
"When the offer came along, we thought that it won't be bad if he gets an officer rank. How in the world did people think that my son will be game for peon's job?" Patel questioned.
Incidentally, Parthiv hasn't even passed his 12th standard examination and therefore is not eligible for any officer's rank in a government organisation.
If Parthiv ever takes up a job with Income Tax department, then he would have to represent the All India Revenue team in the BCCI Corporate Trophy.
