Sir,
will Mr. Sinha say how much
taxes are being paid by our MP's and MLA's pay
for the moolah they receive
including the free allowances?

Don't
Want to Pay Taxes ?
An interview in Hindustan Times
( 02 March 2016 ) quotes Shri Jayant Sinha ( Minister of State for Finance ) as
follows :
" People
in India don't want to pay taxes .
In many societies, people
recognize that you have to have a level of
taxation for society to flourish
India's top tax rate now is
35 % for the super rich , which is very much on the low side
In the US, depending on the
state , it is above 50% .
Our tax to GDP ratio is
16-17% , China has 21-22% , while the US has 25%. The OECD average is 35%
That is why
we are not able to provide the public services people need
We don't have enough
resources .
The citizens have to decide
the kind of society they want "
HT report also mentions that
Shri Sinha is an MBA from Harvard and also headed a consulting firm before
becoming a Minister .
So , we must pay attention to
his views
Especially , his view that
" People in India don't want to pay taxes "
But if he were to ask these
people , " Why don't you want to pay taxes
? " , they would tell him :
Sir , for all the taxes that
we patiently paid for past 68 years , what public services have we got ?
Sure , you ( NDA / BJP ) may
not be responsible for the TRILLIONS of tax rupees that the Establishment and
the corrupt politicians pocketed over these years ,
But then ,
don't blame us for having lost ALL faith in government's ability to use
our tax money for delivering any worthwhile public service !
Will you please care to also
compare the public services that people in those other countries get from their
respective governments , with the service that we get in India ?
Your
comment that we don't " want to pay taxes " , comes as an insult .
We feel like crying at this
humiliation !
We wish , you were a little
more charitable !
At least as charitable as you
have been to those hundreds of rich people who are enjoying their holidays in
Europe while defaulting on repayment of Rs 4 lakh*crores worth of loans !
If Bapu
were around , he would have launched a " Satyagraha " and told people
NOT to pay taxes !
We would rather NOT pay taxes
and use that money to get whatever service that we want, directly from non-government agencies in private unorganized sector
- agencies which we
* don't have to VOTE for
* over which we have
total CONTROL
* with whom we
can NEGOTIATE the LEVEL of service that
we expect
* which we can SACK
at will at short notice
* whom we pay , " AFTER " the delivery of DESIRED service
Dear Shri Sinha :
Just abolish Personal Income
Tax and let us fend for ourselves !
We will be happy to start
paying income tax once again , if public services reach even 50 % of what the
government of US delivers to its citizens !

Don't
Expect This in Budget
Don't expect my following
suggestion to figure in the Budget speech which, Shri Jaitleyji will read in
Lok Sabha , a few hours from now
But then it does not have to
be !
First break the unwritten
rule : " If a reform was not announced in Budget , then it cannot be
implemented "
My suggestion is about ATM V
2.0
Many decades ago , ATM were
first introduced in America when banks found long lines of customers waiting to
withdraw cash at the CASH COUNTER
In America , cashiers are
called TELLERS . So these CASH DISPENSING machines came to be called AUTOMATIC
TELLER MACHINE ( ATM )
In India , we call these
ANY TIME ( cash ) MACHINE , which give out cash upon
* entering a few
details / code numbers into ATM screen
* amount of cash you want to withdraw and
* inserting your ATM Card in the machine
ATM prints out a slip of
paper incorporating full details of the transaction / customer name etc
I believe , nowadays , any
ATM accepts ATM card issued by any bank , so you need not worry to find a ATM
belonging to YOUR bank ( where you have YOUR bank account )
MY
SUGGESTION :
* Come out with ATM V
2.0 ( call it , " Automatic Taker
Machine " ? )
* Install one in every
bank branch and at 145,000 post offices ( India Post's Payment Banks )
* ATM
V 2.0 does NOT " dispense" cash . It only " accepts
" cash !
* Cash depositor will enter
personal details ( Aadhar No / Jan Dhan Bank A/C No etc ) and amount being
deposited
* ATM V 2.0 will count
the cash ( much like currently used CASH COUNTERS at most bank branches )
* It will print out a
RECEIPT , giving full details
* All
ATMs ( V 2.0 ) will be inter-connected in a Network having a CENTRAL server
* All cash deposited ( by every user ) will be used for
Infrastructure SPV
* Depositor
will earn annual interest @ 5 % on CASH deposited ( Receipt wise )
* Cash
Receipts can be en-cashed upon maturity of 10 years ( like FIXED DEPOSIT
receipts )
* Interest will be TAX FREE and get directly deposited
in depositor's Jan Dhan Bank A/c
* No questions ( as
to the source of the cash deposited ) will be asked ( Perpetual Amnesty Scheme
)
I understand , Jan Dhan
Yojana managed to garner deposits of approx Rs 30 thousand crores in 18 months
ATM V 2.0 , will bring back
those Rs 34.4 lakh*crores of undisclosed assets that are lying in foreign banks
,
AND
Rs 340 lakh*crores of
unaccounted BLACK MONEY lying in domestic bank lockers ( or locked up as gold /
land )
In deep space , there are
BLACK HOLES which suck in all matter . Even light cannot escape from a black
hole
ATM V 2.0 will be our WHITE HOLES which will suck in all black money
Indians have stashed anywhere !
Let us use this INNOVATION ,
which is simply re-configuring well-established and straight forward HW /
SW !
Dear Shri Jaitleyji ,
There is no
need to worry about how to raise revenue to fund those Infrastructure Projects
to generate jobs
No need to
widen tax net ( from 4 % to 23 % ) or borrow money from market or abroad
No need to
announce in your budget speech this morning ! No passing of any BILL in
Rajya Sabha !

Subject: A TALE OF TWO TRACKING
A
Tale of Two Tracking !
State of Maharashtra has a
total of 50 prisons , of which 9 are Central jails
Between them , they house
25,000-30,000 inmates
The country as a whole, has
some 1,387 prisons , housing approx 356,000 prisoners
Maharashtra government has
decided to introduce " chip or bracelet
" tracking system for prisoners and
is in the process of signing an agreement with the Israeli Government under
which , private Israeli companies will implement this " tracking " project
Why all this rush for a
technology driven reform ?
Because , in March 2015 ,
five criminals had fled from the Nagpur jail after climbing boundary wall
!
But no one in government
seems to be really bothered with the following :
* There are billions of
high currency notes ( Rs 500 / 1000 ) in circulations
* A whole lot of these
are unaccounted BLACK MONEY income, on
which no tax got paid
* Many more billions
are stashed in secret bank lockers , which occasionally "escape"
for purchase of gold/land etc
* High currency notes
worth Rs 34.4 lakh*crore have "climbed"
national boundaries and escaped without "trace"
!
* Today , Government
has absolutely no mechanism to " track /
trace " such escapes
* In India more than
90% of all payments ( for goods and services ) are in CASH , quite a few , using these high
currency
notes
* If payments are made
in CASH , no GST / Service Tax can be collected
* But if the payments
get made through official channels ( ECS / Bank Transfers / Credit Cards /
Mobile Wallets
etc ) ,
then GST can be collected ( or a BTT - Bank Transaction Tax , can be levied )
Now , instead of " dehumanizing " 30,000 prisoners with a RFID-embedded
collar around their necks ( as it
happened with Rajat Gupta of
McKinsey fame , a few weeks back in New York ) , just so that you can track
some
5 prisoners , would it not be
much better / wiser to :
* Discontinue
paper-based currency notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 ( and withdraw in 6 months ,
with advance notice )
* Introduce plastic
currency notes of Rs 500 / 1,000 which are
embedded with RFID sensors ( far thinner than a human hair ! ) ,
always broadcasting their presence to Internet of Things ( IoT )
I believe Govt is launching
ONE BILLION plastic currency notes of Rs 10 denomination , later this year
Let us
make this a PILOT PROJECT , by embedding these with RFID sensors . We will
learn a lot in " tracking " !
* Assign to each such
note, a IP V 6.0 address , linked to its unique note number
* Set up a IT-enabled
Technology Platform which will constantly monitor any accumulation of Rs 500 /
1000
RFID
embedded notes in excess of Rs ONE CRORE within
an area of ONE square meter
Why waste time in tracking
a few escaped prisoners ?
Why not leverage technology
to track those billions of notes and their criminal owners who are destroying
our economy ?
Mr Arvind Subramanian (
Chief Economic Adviser ) should have recommended this in his ECONOMY SURVEY ,
instead of suggesting to expand tax net to cover 23 % of the Indian citizens ,
against current 4 %
I believe , humble RFID
sensor can get ten times more tax revenue than expanding tax-net to 23 % of
citizens !
Incidentally :
Should Shri Jaitley-ji
propose expanding the tax-net as suggested , in his budget speech tomorrow , do
you know what would happen ?
You don't
need to be a Nostradamus to foresee BJP losing ALL state and central elections
for the next 10 years !

Subject: TRASH the CASH
A report in Business Line (
25 Feb 2016 ) , reads :
" Centre wants Indians to abandon cash and make digital payments "
The report lists following measures announced by NDA govt on 24 Feb :
* Withdrawal of surcharge / service charge / convenience fee on card / digital
payments , currently imposed by govt departments
* Payments beyond a prescribed threshold only in card / digital mode
* Rationalize telecom service charges for digital financial transactions
* Promote mobile banking
* Create assurance mechanisms for quick resolution of fraudulent transactions
* Review payment ecosystem in the country
To make it easy for people to make digital payments , Government has already installed :
* Electronic Clearing Service Scheme
* National Electronic Funds Transfer
* Real Time Gross Settlement Scheme
* Direct transfer of Subsidies to bank accounts of beneficiaries
* Providing RuPay debit cards
* Allowing setting up of Payment Banks
Surely , all of these steps will make it EASY for people to GRADUALLY switch over to making digital payments
But , if the HIDDEN AGENDA of the Government behind all of these initiatives , is to reduce / eliminate the scourge of BLACK MONEY ( always and entirely CASH ) , then the only initiative which will COMPEL people to " TRASH the CASH " and move over to digital payments in a HURRY, is my oft-repeated suggestion as follows :

Subject: EXPORTING MANPOWER
Exporting
Manpower ?
Our exports have been
falling, month after month , for the past 18 months in a row
But this is not unique to
India
With rapidly shrinking World
Trade , exports of nearly all countries around the world are falling
Barring a few exceptions ,
economies of all the countries are declining
So , it came as a surprise to
read a news report ( BL / 20 Feb ) , that , despite the fact that Malaysia has
2.1 million registered foreign workers and 1.7 million illegal foreign workers
, it signed a deal with Bangladesh to hire another 1.5 million Bangladeshi
workers , over the next 3 years !
As expected, local trade
unions have criticized this deal
Now let us not start putting
together a strategy for Manpower Export , despite the fact that of all the
countries in the World , India has the largest number of its citizens working abroad
( legal + illegal )
I believe , close to 22
million persons of Indian origin , with some 7 million in Gulf Countries
But trade unions and
political parties everywhere are vehemently opposed to migrant workers who take
away jobs from local residents
Even EU , which accepted some
1 million refugees from war-torn Syria / Iraq / Afghanistan , in 2015 , have
started repatriating what it terms as " Economic Migrants "
seeking " better life " in EU , as distinct from political refugees
But that is not stopping 3000
such " refugees "(political or economic), from forcing their way into
EU , every day !
Within India , we have seen
in the past ( and continue to witness , currently ) , economically backward
people ( euphemism for " poor " ) , migrating to cities in other
relatively affluent States , in search of livelihood , occasionally . causing
resentment among local citizens
So far , such inter-state
migrations have not caused any serious problem because of our Unifying forces
of religion / language / culture / heritage / traditions and our Constitution
But with annual addition of
some 12 million persons (including some 3.5 million graduates ), to our legions
of jobseekers , things could get ugly - especially since neither the Public nor
the Private sector , can create this many jobs every year !
We need to
find ways in which these millions can become " Self Employed "
I hope that each and every
announcement that Shri Jaitley makes in his budget speech on 29 Feb , would
lead to creation of " Self Employment " in the economically backward
States of India
With most of our States being
the size of many EU countries , we may not be in a position to Export Manpower ,
even across our State boundaries , forget across the International
borders !
For Indian Federal
structure to hold together , we must work on the double to reduce inequality
between States !

International
Exchange Program
We have all heard about these
programs under which , ( for example ) students from India would go to USA ,
spend a few weeks with American families and even attend local universities
In turn , American students
would spend similar period in India ( may be , with the parents of those Indian
students who went to USA ) and attend Indian Colleges
In the process , both groups
learn the customs / traditions / life-styles of their host Societies
I suppose , they also learn
quite a lot about the Education Systems of host countries
Which would include ,
academic pursuit and teaching methods
But , above
all , they would learn how the students behave in the class rooms and how the
teachers maintain discipline
I believe , it must be a
" Shocking " experience for those Indian students to find that
professors in USA wield unimaginable power , unfettered by the Dean or
Chancellor of those colleges
Eg :
* A professor's
is the final word in the evaluation of any student ( no court of higher appeal
)
* Quite a lot of
that evaluation is based on the number and the quality of questions asked by
the students
* " Shot-gun
" exams are a teacher's way of judging the progress of the students
* If any student
absents from class room without a satisfactory reason ( ie satisfactory to the
subject teacher ),
the
teacher can simply tell him to stop attending the classes ! Heavy rains or snow
storm does not count !
And the Dean cannot question
the professor's decision
* Teachers don't
prescribe any text books , but they may suggest a dozen books to refer to
* Many teachers
just " refuse to teach " ! They insist that the students come to
class , having " self taught " the
subject
and the class room is only for the purpose of "solving difficulties"
faced by students while self-teaching !
* Emphasis is not
on a student remembering the exact mathematical equation but on knowing which
equation to
use !
Hence , most professors will allow a student to look up any book during an
exam !
* Even arriving
at the exact / precise " answer " is not considered important . It is
your " approach " to solving a
problem that counts more .
Were you able to suggest a
non-traditional and distinctly innovative " approach " ?
MORAL
OF THE STORY :
How about Shri Narendra
Modiji ( himself , a champion of " Out of
Box " thinking ) , signing an " Exchange Agreement
" with President Obama , under which , a batch
of 40 Indian Legislators ( to begin with , opposition members of Rajya Sabha )
, are deputed to USA for 6 months ( or till GST Bill gets passed ? ) to attend the
sessions of US Congress / Senate , to learn / imbibe their ways of
conducting official business ?
Of course , our deputed
legislators must be paid a " Copycat-ing Allowance " of $ 100 per day
while in USA !
After all , cafeteria in
American Congress building does not provide "dosas" @ Rs 2 per piece
!
While readily agreeing to the
Indian request , it is quite possible that President Obama may politely decline
to send the American Legislators to attend our Lok Sabha / Rajya Sabha's budget
session ! Entirely understandable !
Dear Shri
Venkaiah-ji :
You may get much more
cooperation from all parties after 6 months !

A
Laughing Matter ?
Last evening, TV channels
showed the traditional " Halwa Ceremony
" in the Finance Ministry building
With this , the process of
preparing / printing of the Union Budget starts
The people involved will stay
" imprisoned / incommunicado " till FM completes his budget speech on
29th Feb , to ensure that the budget provisions do not leak out
That does not stop the
experts ( - and some non-experts like me ) , to make predictions such as :
* Revising limits for personal Income Tax slabs
* Reducing rates for TDS
* Rationalizing procedures ( assessment scrutiny
/ tax refunds / tax litigations etc )
* Launching new Schemes / Funds for savings and
investments
* Increase / decrease of Excise rates on
products ( watch out smokers and drinkers ! )
* Increase / decrease of Import Duties on
products to protect local industries / stop dumping from China
* Recapitalization of Banks ( to write-off Rs 7
lakh*crore of NPA with tax payers money )
* Write-off DISCOM debts of Rs 4 lakh*crores by passing
the buck to State Governments ( tax payer burden ? )
* Write off loans to farmers - what with
elections looming in 5 States ( but I support this )
News papers report that the
Government have received budget suggestions from some 7,000 persons and
that , this time around , Prime Minister himself is closely involved in the
budget making exercise
Now , with all this obsession
/ seriousness / paranoia , surely this secrecy surrounding the budget document
, cannot be a laughing matter !
Unless you ask ,
* some foreign software geeks
( eg: Sundar Pichai / Satya Nadela / Vivek Ranadive / Ray Kurzweil etc )
* some Indian BIG DATA ANALYTICS geeks ( Mukund
/ Krishnan / Sanjay / Srikant / Raj / Anurag etc )
Because , if you do , they
will laugh and tell you :
" Just
give us the actual budget documents of the past 60 years ( including the
accompanying budget speeches ) and we will process these documents using Big Data Analytics software and predict what
will be the provisions in the forthcoming budget ( with a probability of 99.7 %
- ie ; plus or minus six standard deviation )
And then , we will process
those past budget speeches with a PARAPHRASING
software ( ala Kurzweilai.net ) and give you an advance
print-out of Shri Arun Jaitleyji's speech on 29th Feb "
But of course , Shri
Jaitleyji could cheat the PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS
, by announcing following unpredictable
:
* Total
Abolition of Personal Income Tax ( or at least , reducing incremental tax rates
in each higher slab )
* Decreasing
Incremental Corporate Tax Rates , linked with each higher slab of "
Permanent Employee Number "
* Perpetual
Amnesty Scheme for all CASH deposits made in Jan Dhan Accounts , if invested in
tax-free Infra SPVs
* Transfer
of 1.8% of GST (from 18%) into buyers' PPF a/c , to ensure all citizens get PPF
a/c for tax-free savings
This amount to be used for paying premium for COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH INSURANCE to
cover all illnesses
* Introduction
of plastic Currency Notes of Rs 500/1000, embedded with micro RFID sensors (
stop Black Money )
Surest
way to ensure that almost all payments are made thru official channels !
* Introduction
of BTT ( Bank Transaction Tax ) @ 2% to yield Rs 15 lakh*crore of revenue (
against revenue loss
of
Rs 2.5 lakh*crores caused by abolishing Personal Income Tax )
Now such announcements ,
besides being " Unpredictable
" , would meet Shri Narendra Modiji's following announcement at Make in
India week on 13th Feb :
" There
is no time for incremental changes . We want a quantum jump
"
Any other budget provision
/ announcement , would be a laughing matter
!
