WAY TO A WIFE's HEART ?
Hindustan
Times ( 29 March 2016 ) reports :
:
There was a recent meeting between Economic Affairs Secretary, Shaktikant Das
and representatives from the Reserve Bank of India, temple trusts and other
bodies to discuss ways to make the Gold Monetization Scheme , more
attractive :
#
What are the Advantages of this Scheme to
the Economy ?
*
Reduce demand for gold in physical form to reduce our Import Bill
Imports of some 1000 tons of gold accounts for nearly 25 % of our Import Bill
*
Bringing out approx 20,000 tons of idle (
locked up ) gold lying with households , into
the banking system ( approx Rs 57,00,00 Crores
worth )
*
Banks will be allowed to sell , gold deposited with them , to jewelers ,
thereby reducing
imports
#
Advantages to gold depositors :
*
Benefit from price increase at the time of maturity
*
Earn interest on the value of deposited gold
#
Negative Point :
*
Gold depositors have to make full disclosures on the source of gold !
#
Public Reaction
:
*
In the past ONE year, only 3 tons of gold ( jewellery ) got deposited
#
Why ? :
*
One official reportedly said at the meeting :
"
I am not even able to convince my wife to part with her jewellery, which she
hardly uses
The
main stumbling block was the emotional value attached to the jewellery , which
had often been passed on by generations "
#
Is there a way out ?
YES
- as follows :
*
Calculate current value of gold being deposited ( say , Rs 50 lakhs )
*
After 10 years , return to depositor , Rs 50 lakh +
simple interest at 10 %
( to take care of price increase - but no
guess work )
*
Also credit
Rs 50 lakhs to depositor's Income Tax account as " Advance
Tax
" paid
*
From depositor's Annual
Tax Return
, keep offsetting this amount over
10 years,
thereby reducing his tax liability ( Rs 5 lakh per year , in this case )
Now, if the depositor is in 20 % tax rate slab, this would mean saving of Rs 1
lakh/year !
*
Most Important : No
need to disclose " Source of Gold
" being deposited . No
questions !
Now
, with this modification , the concerned official can convince his wife by
telling her :
"
Go ahead and buy every year , new - and latest trend - jewellry equivalent to
the tax amount that the Scheme has saved for me
And
, buy dresses and purses to match that jewellery when we go on holidays abroad
"
With
this , I believe , at least 1,000 tons of gold can be garnered in next 12
months

Subject: PIYUSH PLAN ?
PIYUSH PLAN ?
After
second world war , European economy was in shambles / devastated
It
was revived through America's generous help in the form of Marshal Plan
A
couple of days back, Shri Piyush Goyal announced intention to replace India's
current petrol / diesel vehicles with Electric vehicles , by 2030
Now
, consider this :
*
India boasts of 200 million vehicles
today
*
We add some 10 million new vehicles each
year
*
Today , global electric vehicles number only 6.65 lakhs
*
World may reach 30 million electric vehicles by 2030
In
light of this , is " PIYUSH PLAN
" feasible ?
Let
us take up the associated issues , one by one , and explore possible solutions
#
TIME FRAME for CHANGE-OVER
Replacing
13.3 million vehicles per year ( starting TO-DAY ! ) to fully change-over 200
million vehicles in 15 years , is NOT possible
Remember
, some 10 million vehicles get added each year for replacement / new demand
Way Out :
*
Existing vehicle manufacturers to COMMENCE
production of electric vehicles by 2020 ,
giving them 5 years lead time to tool up
*
Manufacturers to start TAPERING OFF
production of petrol / diesel vehicles from 2020 at the rate of 10 % per year. In 10 years ( by 2030 ) , they
must stop all old vehicle production
*
Simultaneously , manufacturers to step up electric
vehicle production by 10 % per year , so as to achieve 100 % electric
vehicle production by 2030
*
This time frame will also apply to auto components / ancillary manufacturers (
Batteries etc )
*
Complete elimination of petrol / diesel vehicles from the roads to be targeted by 2050
#
DISPOSAL OF EXISTING VEHICLES
( 200 million + produced till 2030 )
*
Enable / encourage MSME units to carry out " Retro
Fitting " of existing vehicles
*
Vehicles older than 15 years to be taken off the
roads . Encourage MSME to salvage whatever they can from such vehicles ( eg :
Steel )
*
Provide special incentives to export
such " Pre-Used / Reconditioned " to
less developed countries
#
CHARGING STATIONS
*
Existing petrol / diesel filling stations will need to be converted to Electric
Charging Stations
*
These Charging Stations , themselves , must NOT draw electric power from State /
National Power Grids - power which comes from Power Stations using FOSSIL
FUEL !
That
would only transfer the pollution creation from vehicle engines to
fossil-fueled power stations !
My Suggestion :
Use
bicycle powered electricity generating device , innovated by Manoj Bhargava (
BillionsinChange )
This
pedal operated device generates / stores , with just ONE HOUR of pedaling,
enough power to light up 12 lamps of 100 W each for 24 hours , and costs around
Rs 10,000/-
Some 25 of such devices are right now under installation in
north India
Its
construction is so simple that any MSME in smallest town can fabricate it
easily , making it possible to get 10 million
of these devices manufactured within a year
I
am sure , Manoj Bhargava would be more than happy to release its manufacturing
drawings on his web site for anyone to register and then download for FREE !
Do we foresee 50 / 60 million unemployed youth to become
self-employed by setting up their own mini Charging Stations , on every street
corner of every town in India ?
No
dependence on Fossil or Solar , yet pure GREEN power around the clock !
Who
knows , some owners of electric cars may even install one in their garage to serve
dual purpose ( improve health + charge the car ). No doubt , a higher capacity
version !
And
, may be all GYMS around the country will install one !
Some
32 years ago , India witnessed a Telecom Revolution
, riding on the wheels of a million roadside PCOs
and a million Cyber Cafes
Piyushji :
Enabling
launch of a million street-corner Charging Stations has got to be your
TRYST WITH DESTINY
# FINANCING
Shri
Goyal said :
"
We don't need one rupee support from the government
We
don't need one rupee investment from the people of India "
But
Vehicle Manufacturers say :
"
We cannot give away electric cars for FREE ! We need money to run our
operations and in advance . At the most , we can consider some sort of "
Hire Purchase " scheme , if we can get funds at an interest rate of 5 %
and are allowed to charge the buyers , 10 % "
And
Banks say :
"
We have already advanced car-loans totaling thousands of crores . If we are
allowed to transfer the unpaid balances along with the fresh loan amounts , to
a " Restructured Loan " bearing a higher interest rate ( and EMI ) ,
then we can consider "
Government says :
"
We don't have funds to build more roads . So, where is the question of financing
private purchase / usage of cars ? We would rather build more / better (
concrete ) roads "
Individual says :
"
I can hardly make ends meet ! If I must borrow from anyone , I would rather buy
a roof over my head . I am already paying huge EMIs for my current car "
I say
:
*
No questions asked for any CASH deposited into a person's Jan Dhan Bank account
*
Create a SPV called , EVFF ( Electric Vehicle Finance Fund )
*
Public can invest in this fund but only from their Jan Dhan Bank Accounts
deposits
*
Interest earned from EVFF to be totally free from personal Income Tax for 10
years
*
EVFF will finance Car Loan companies or " Hire Purchase Schemes " of
car manufacturers
*
Car finance companies will be asked to stop financing of petrol / diesel cars
and finance
only electric vehicles
If this is implemented , within 6 months , EVFF will be able
to create a Corpus of Rs 10 lakh*crores !
Can
you think of a better way of harnessing BLACK money to finance
a GREEN future ?
#
INCENTIVE FOR CAR
MANUFACTURERS AND CAR OWNERS
Shri
Goyal says :
"
We are trying to make this program self financing by monetizing the savings
people have from using cheaper electricity to run cars
We
are trying to work out whether we can give the cars for free initially and
people can pay back out of the savings from not using petroleum products "
Figuring
out which electric car owner saved how much money by not using petrol / diesel vehicle
is a very messy issue , to say the least !
People
use , from a 5 HP scooter to a 200 HP gas-guzzler car
Some
use it for 500 KM per month , whereas others use for 10,000 KM per month
They
may use it for self / family or for commercial purpose ( Rickshaw / Taxi / Bus
/ Truck )
They
may use diesel or petrol ( even mixed with kerosene in case of rickshaws )
For
200 million existing vehicles , there could well be , 200 million different / unique
,
*
Current amounts ( liters ) monthly fuel usage
*
Purchased at differing prices per litter ( depending upon city )
*
Amounts paid to Charging Stations ( bound to vary , even within a city )
*
All of these leading to different amount of monthly savings
*
All the while neglecting the monthly EMI costs incurred !
I
am afraid any attempt to compute " Individual Savings " is bound to
raise controversies and litigation of unimaginable scale !
And
let us not forget that , when vehicle manufacturers switch-over to production
of electric vehicles , it won't be just ONE / STANDARD model of same horsepower
There
will be hundreds of models of electric vehicles of different designs / capacities
/ specifications and consuming different amounts of electric power !
My
suggestion :
Forget
about ,
*
Computing of " Individual Savings "
*
Giving electric cars " free initially "
*
Owners " paying back from savings "
Based
on car specifications / assumed average monthly usage etc , figure out
and fix
*
" Carbon Credits " for each model
of electric car manufactured
*
Based on Carbon Credits earned , calculate Direct
Transfer of Benefit ( DTB ) to electric
car manufacturers based on monthly dispatches of each model
and then transfer these amounts from EVFF , as incentives to
manufacturers
As far as incentives to electric car owners is concerned , make tax-exempt
, all interest paid by owners for car loans taken , without any ceiling
#
GENERAL / GLOBAL INCENTIVES
This
game-changing initiative has at its root ,
"
SAVE THE WORLD FROM
POLLUTION "
This
would require " Pulling out all stops " , in the form of
unprecedented " Incentives "
to :
*
Individual Electric Vehicle Owners
*
Electric Vehicle Manufacturers ( and " Disincentives " to
petrol/diesel manufacturers )
*
Manufacturers of Charging Station Equipment ( Bicycle based Devices , for sure
)
*
Charging Station Operators
*
Old Vehicle Retrofitting Units ( MSME )
*
Old Vehicle recycling Units ( MSME )
*
Old Vehicle Exporting Units
*
Roadside Vehicle Repairers
*
Vehicle Purchase Finance Companies ( Car loans / Hire Purchase )
*
Electric Vehicle Leasing Companies
*
Auto Ancillaries of Electric Vehicles
*
Distributors / Dealers / Stockists of Electric Vehicles
*
Transport Companies using Electric Vehicles ( transporting people or goods
)....etc
ALL
of these ( and those that I missed out ), must be EXEMPTED
from :
*
Indirect Taxes ( Excise / Octroi /
Import Duty / Sales Tax / GST / Road Taxes etc )
*
Direct Taxes ( Personal and Corporate Income
Tax / LTCG )
They
must also be freed from rigid licensing / registration / incorporation
requirements
Dear Piyushji :
Newspaper
reports quoted you :
"
We are thinking of leading the World rather than following the World
India will be the first country to think of that scale "
There is no doubt you can lead the World , if you do not allow
yourself to get paralyzed with the fear of failure !

sent me following email on 25 March 2016 , after reading my suggestion below :
Dear
Mr. Parekh,
Yes,
placing tags on money has certainly been
considered in the past.
I think it is a matter of time before it happens.
I do agree with your idea.
Having
said that, as more and more transactions become digital (credit cards, bitcoin,
Adhaar card, etc.) the need for tracking cash goes down — ironically as our
ability to track it increases.

WHAT DID I SUGGEST
?
( A Mobile App called, "
BLACK-MAIL " )
------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------
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 sensors
Besides
communicating with each other , these sensors 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 !
Here
are the most important BYE - PRODUCTs :
* No more
possibility of fake / forged / counterfeit , currency notes !
* Plastic
currency notes will last 10 times longer !
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 , RBI will need to
allow 6 month's time to the owners of current paper currency notes of Rs 500 /
1000 , to get these exchanged with new plastic notes before withdrawal of the
old notes from circulation
Now , would not that
distribute the hidden , unaccounted wealth ! - a welcome fall out !
But then such transparency
might lead to break-down of social order / chaos
It may be a better / safer /
saner solution for such balloons / tag clouds to appear , on a secret Mobile App , available only to the officers of
Enforcement Department ( ED )
You may want to call this app
, " BLACK-MAIL " !
Of course , my suggestions
may become outdated with the arrival of mobile wallets based CASHLESS SOCIETY ,
by 2030
In the
meantime , should Shri Arun Jaitleyji and Shri Ravi Shankar Prasadji , want
this implemented , it can be done in 6 months , at
one tenth the cost of MoM ( Mars Orbital Mission ) , ie approx Rs 43 Crores
All they have to do , is to
tell the bureaucracy :
" Since we need
not depend upon Opposition parties to pass a bill in Rajya Sabha , please go
ahead and implement this - in less than 6 months "
