A recent LinkedIn post highlights an extraordinary act of honesty by an auto driver named Altaf. The author, in a hurry for a 7 am meeting, mistakenly paid ₹15,682 instead of the actual fare of ₹156. After the meeting, he found Altaf waiting and was shocked when the driver returned the entire mistakenly paid amount. Despite the author's insistence on keeping at least the original fare, Altaf refused, stating, "It’s the start of the day for both of us, sir." This interaction left a profound impact on the passenger. A week later, after receiving positive news from a client, he recalled the incident and decided to send Altaf ₹500 as a token of appreciation for his honesty. The story has resonated widely online, underscoring the values of integrity and honesty in daily life, with the author noting that Altaf never asked for anything in return.
