Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

RE: CASH TO DIGITAL SUMMIT


GIVE   AND    TAKE

Dear Shri Modiji :


It was statesman like for you to reach out to Congress leaders last evening , in order to reach an agreement on GST

All negotiations have two , initially opposing , parties

No agreement can be arrived at , on the " Terms " of only one of the parties

A customer sold against his will , ceases to be a customer  !

Agreements imposed through numerical strength of membership , are bound to get sabotaged

To arrive at a " Lasting Solution " , there must be give and take


Here is my suggestion :


NDA  GIVE  :


*    Accept a cap of 18 % for GST in the Constitutional Amendment Bill


NDA  TAKE :

*    A provision in Bill to enable the Government of the day , to raise the GST % in
     subsequent years , through an enabling provision

     
     This provision ( not mandatory ) , will allow the Government to raise the GST %
    through the Annual Central Budget each year

      ( anyway , Union Budget has to be passed in Lok Sabha , each year )


*   The amount by which GST " may " get raised , to be calculated as follows :

     #    Starting GST %   =    18 %

    #     Assume that , in 2016-17 , CPI rises by 10 %

    #     Take  5 %  of that 10 % rise in CPI .   That works out to 0.5 %

    #     So , in 2017-18 , GST may be raised by 0.5 % , to become 18.5 %

    #     This is the UPPER LIMIT . Government may choose to revise GST to any
           figure less than 18.5 %


This is a perfect  FACE SAVING  FORMULA


Carpe  Diem !  Cease this moment to strike a deal by today evening  !

Good Luck  !

NETWORK   OF   CURRENCY    NOTES ?


While inaugurating the International Conference on " Networking the Networks " on Nov 2 , our FM Shri Jaitleyji said :

" Tax evasion and money laundering will become extremely difficult in the next 1-2 years, with the global automatic exchange of information system coming into effect on a real time basis "

To speed up this process and make it truly automatic / real time , I suggest resorting to the following technologies :


#   Internet of Things ( IoT )

     As each currency note of Rs 500 / 1000 , is getting printed , embed it with microscopic
     RFID chips

     Besides communicating with each other , these chips will also transmit their existence
     location , through internet , to cloud-based servers of Income Tax Department

     This will form a " NETWORK  OF  CURRENCY  NOTES ( NoC ) "

     You may like to call this Internet of Currency ( IoC ) , a sub-set of IoT  !



#   Internet Protocol Address System ( IP V 6.0 )


     Each Rs 500 / 1000 currency note must be assigned ( at the time of printing ) , its own
     unique Internet Address , using IP V 6.0

     This IP address should be linked with the unique Serial Number printed on each note.

     Since IP V 6.0 , will be capable of assigning   " 2 * 10 to the power of 128 ", no of  IP
     addresses , there is no danger of running out of addresses , even if we decide to extend
     this idea to Rs 100 currency notes !

    
    
This reform will enable the Central Government / Income Tax Department , to :

*    Continuously trace the movement of each of these higher denomination currency notes

*    Instantly locate any place ( using Google Map based GPS ) , where there is an
     accumulation of more than Rs 1 Crore worth of currency notes

     Such accumulation will be made to appear as a TAG CLOUD on the web site of IT Dept,
     like thousands of balloons floating on a map of India , capable of being drilled down to
     within 1 Sq Meter  !

     On each balloon , will appear a number announcing , " Amount of Cash here - Rs " !

     This will vastly simplify the task of Anti Corruption Dept / Enforcement Dept etc


Of course , my suggestions may become outdated with the arrival of mobile wallets based CASHLESS SOCIETY , by 2030

In the meantime , experts may want to opine whether my suggestions make sense , theoretically and practically ( if so , by when ? ) to tackle the menace of black money generation
