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?"

With regards,

THIS WILL BE THE LOUDEST MESSAGE TO THE VOTERS


Dear Prime Ministerji,


When it comes to fight against Corruption / Black Money , it is not enough to be honest but that honesty ( of purpose ) needs to be perceived as such by millions of citizens


Mere slogans / videos (  #MainBhiChowkidar  ) won't suffice !


Only thing that will convince millions , is to give them a WEAPON with which they can fight against corruption !


The weapon described below can be launched in 4 days !


It is time for a Surgical Strike within !




#MainBhiChowkidar


Some 2 days back, Shri Modiji started this campaign, by launching a video , in which people of all ages and from all walks of life are seen singing , “ Main bhi chowkidar


Idea is to rope in millions of Indian citizens to help catch the corrupt ( -  indeed the job of a Chowkidar )


But the citizens are left wondering :

“  I have located a guy in my neighbourhood , who is a proclaimed tax-offender . How do I turn him in ? “


Dear Narendrabhai,


Your very welcome initiative fails to empower ordinary citizens with a tool to truly become a Chowkidar


That tool is a Mobile App , called “ Be-ware “, which I described as follows in my email to the Cabinet Ministers , dated 30  AUG  2016 :


===================================================================

Income Tax department to launch a  Mobile App ( called , " Be-Ware " ? )



Anyone can download it from the web site of IT dept by entering his Aadhar Number / Jan Dhan Bank a/c Number



Be-Ware " will display ( alphabetically ) , names of those Tax Defaulters



Long press on any name , will reveal the person's data ( as seen currently on IT dept web site )



Below each data-sheet , will be a button which reads " INFORMER "


Touching it will open a box , wherein the " Informer " can provide information leading to locating / arresting of that defaulter



Just click " SEND " button after typing in the info



That simple !



A return acknowledgement SMS from IT department will give a  REGISTRATION  LINK , clicking which will show the informer , info provided by him , on IT dept web site ( Proof of Pudding ! )



And every time he logs in at this LINK , he will get to know the progress made by IT department in the case


It will also enable him to submit " Supplementary Data " ( about the Defaulter ) , from time to time



A total transparency  , in an atmosphere of Co-operation instead of Confrontation !



Based on info provided , if - and when - IT department recovers any of that TAX DUES , that Informer's  Jan Dhan Bank A/c will get credited with 5 % of the amount recovered ! ( the most welcome and well-earned, DBT ? )



And , the INFORMER will NOT be required to pay any Income Tax , on such deposits  !



One simple rule will apply ( like " Terms and Conditions Apply " )



In case more than one Informer submits similar information about the same Tax Defaulter , the person submitting it FIRST , will get 5 % and each subsequent informer , will get a ENCOURAGEMENT PRIZE of Rs 1,000 / -



In such a case , the decision of the IT department will be final and binding on the informers



If implemented , rest assured that all smart phone manufacturers would want to pre-install " Be-Ware " on each and every phone shipped !


In such cases , the App can be " Activated " by the phone-owner , by registering his Mobile Number on the IT department web site



IT Dept Guys  !


Rope in millions !  Start a " Track-a-Crook " viral fever ! Get back Crores of public money with little effort !



Income Tax Free " manna from heaven " of 5 % , will launch a million sleuths into ,


BRING  THE  CROOK  TO  BOOK " business !


No place for the Corrupts to hide !



But needed , one most important assurance for success :


All " Informers " must be fully protected under " The Whistle-Blower Protection Act " !


Way to Go , with some BOLD / OUT OF BOX , thinking !


======================================================================

Dear Shri Modiji,


My suggestion is a sure way to take this battle against corruption to the people

It will reassure the citizens about your dedication to this cause

It is bound to go viral

It does not violate Model Code of Conduct
 
It can be launched within 4 days  !
