Suggestions:Dear Sir, I am a NRI living outside India. I keep track of all the events in India. My entire family resides in India and it really hurts me to hear about the devastation in Gujarat. I have contributed what I could for disaster relief and likewise my family in india have done so. I have read in newspapers today that government is going to charge extra taxes for the reconstruction of Gujurat. Sir, while we as ordinary Indians will contribute in every means to compensate for this huge disaster, I would like to know what the over bloated beaurocracy is doing. As usual they do nothing, for most of them are good for nothing. If the government can cut down the monstrous beaurocracy this alone can bring up the 1300 crores that the government proposes to raise from ordinary people. It will also reduce the corruption in the country.

Wou;d it not be better if the government tried to trim its expenses, reduce its size & tighten its belt. thousands of crores are being wasted by the bureaucracy & the ministers. Would it not be better if the government looked at reducing this rather that taxing the same salaried class a bit more. It is amazing that the prime minister says that all the people will have to share the burden of the earthquaake. But we do not hear a single word or witness a single deed towards reducing the size of the government. Such hypocrisy.

Suggestions:Scheme : "GURU DHAKSHINA" Dear sir, As most of us are aware our infrastructure is in a very poor shape. This includes roads, ports, education, health etc. The govt is subsidising education and there not much it is getting in return. Sir, I suugest you to start a scheme "GURU DHAKSHINA" where any one making contribution to his/her almuni will get 100% tax rebate. The fund mobilised under GURU DHAKSHINA scheme should be utilised exclusiively for the development of infrastructure like labs, libraries etc. in the contributor's almuni. India is producing lacs of engineers/doctors/scientists annualy with lots of subsidy. I think these professionals will be more than happy to contribute in this scheme. Implementation modalities can be worked out afterwards. infact I have an implementation strategy in mind. The funds can be sent directly to UGC with the all the details. The UGC will issue a statement to the contributor and further forward the funds thus mobilised to the respective institutions.you should keep in mind the NRIs also in mind while devising the scheme as they can contribute handsomely.

Suggestions:India is being affected almost on annual basis like drought, cyclone, floods, earthquake etc, having an impact on the infrastructure. It is suggested to the Finance Minister, to levy infrastructure fees for companies (both local and mncs)and a national infrastructure reconstruction cum development fund be set up. This fees may be allowed to be capitalised and amortised and set against potential profits. This fund will be 50% national and 50% identified for the respective state where the fees have been collected. While national component may be used for relief in any state (on the lines of prime minister relief fund), the state component may be used only by the state that collected the levy. In other words, it is suggested to establish a fund concept, to manage infrastructure reconstruction and development, that can handle infrastructure on an on-going basis.

Email:mmm@yahoo.com
Suggestions:this suggestion is related to the VRS scheme of public banks. This scheme should be made applicable to the specialist officers and highly skilled and qualified staff named in item V and item IV respectively at Para3 of the scheme. Doubts have arisen because there does not occur anywhere in the service rules or in the scheme any definition of these terms. Moreover, the expressions are so coined as to be vague, perhaps deliberately to keep widest possible scope to pick and choose persons of the same category to retire or forced to retain on its rolls at whims and preferences. It may further be noted that there are no separate rules or terms and conditions for recruitment, retention, training or promotion for the specialist officers or highly skilled and qualified staff. Accordingly, it has become a subject of animated discussion among all categories of employees and an item of speculation depending upon the individual perceptions. A person who thinks himself a non-specialist officer to retire with a genuine object of making way for more dynamic young man in the interests of engendering greater efficiency, may not be permitted to avail the scheme if he is classified by the Competent authority as a specialist, while at the same time a person who is highly skilled and qualified may be permitted to avail the scheme if the controlling authorities chooses to extend its favour by treating him as not falling with in the category of highly skilled and qualified staff. There is no criteria specified so as to determine who is a specialist officer and who are highly qualified and skilled staff. This anomaly is glaring. Left as it is, the scheme is liable to be enforced in an arbitrary manner. It is also liable to be enforced in a manner detrimental to the interests of the staff as well as of the interests of the Bank. The point raised is very important. It is crucial to the scheme and its applicability. Arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement of the scheme may frustrate the very object of the scheme. If the scheme is enforced in a manner apprehended, it may perpetuate the staff stagnation, which the scheme intends to avoid. I think there should be no partiality in the application of this scheme and it should be available for all officers

Suggestions:It is really very good sign that we are also slowly joining global community in buisness. But whether we are really prepared ourselves for that. We shall do. Our economy is equally dependent on small scale sector as well on highly oraganised MNC and other Big buiness houses. We are small enterpriners depending mostly on well ebing of small scale Industries. Our expectation is not that product and quality sacrifice on the part of small scale industries but concessional aproach in terms of taxation and other Goverment bodies whose onslaught and rugged approach results mental torture for a small scale enterpriner. A small example, when a small mistake happens where the small enterpriner commits a mistake with respect to Excise rule or sales tax rule he or she cannot handle the situation in the simillar way a big organised sector can do as a result he or she is exploited and tortured by your official to the extend a person has to sell out his whole years earning which neither goes to Goverment also. So we beg your kind attention towards simplifing rules and documentations and releive the clutches from the hand of so called Goverment officals who try to earn more for them then for the Goverment.

Besides there must be political compulsions too. Considering the size of budget deficits and the fact that everyone in the country has to put the shoulder to the wheel, I request you to introduce income tax for the farmers who are earning income over a certain threshold level. I hope you have the courage to take this step and this would make our nation more responsible towards its future and make polilticians and bureaucrats more accountable. An individual who pays tax will expect good governance in return. With best wishes and regards Bala

New taxes are still afordable, keeping in view of the enormous tragedy, but this is not the solution, as is apparent from the short sighted measures taken by the ministry. I, would humbly suggest the same as has been stated ny a few papers that the goverment should float relief bonds which are 100 % tax free, thereby ensuring more money supply to the goverment and eliminating the malady of black money to an extent.

Suggestions:Even before assessing earthquake damage in Gujrat, PM announes a tax hike - smacks of opportunism. You need to widen tax net by computerising IT dept. at a breakneck pace, alloting PAN no. within a day's time and making it compulsory for everyone, restructuring tax laws and going after economic offenders like politicians, beauracrats and government officials. You cannot go on squeezing common middle class citizen leaving out the rich at the top and poor at the bottom. Expanding tax net with tough measures is the only solution Also, allow states to collect their own tax and reduce central tax. Why should Karnataka pay for Bihar ruled by a buffoon like Laloo squandering state exchequer ?

Suggestions:Hon'ble Minister The salaried class has been the worst hit by the Govt's refusal to raise the standard deduction for the last 5 years. In case the Govt. is unwilling to raise the Standard deduction for the general public, atleast the Govt. servants may be given an enhanced rate of standard deduction. Sir,You have yourself been a Govt. servant, and are well aware that an honest Govt. officer is barely able to make ends meet. To keep up these low slabs of standard deduction for Govt. employees amounts to tacit approval of corruption. The underlying assumption is that "they are making enough to pay all these taxes". This assumption is incorrect in 85% of the Govt. employees. There are other ways of checking amassed wealth beyond known sources of income for Govt. employees. Please spare them from the crushing burden of income tax by raising their standard deduction or decreasing the slab rates. Regards A S Cheema

Suggestions:Hon. Finance Minister, I personally feel that the devastating earthquake has come as a boon in disguise to the Union Government. It seem that the Government has seized this opportunity to Tax the Common Man giving the excuse of the quake. It is seen that there has been a lot of aid pouring in from all the corners of the world and probably the Government need not go hunting for money and fleece honest tax payers through out the country. Even if you are able to control the unwanted expenses incurred by the ministers and their famalies, we shall be able to provide for the loss. It has been noted that even if a minister (State or Central) visits a place or even travels to from his residence to the office, he/she is accompanied by a ,motorcade, wasting valuble fuel and money, the burden of which is passed on to the common man. The excuse given by the Government is by way of the provision of SECURITY FOR THE MINISTERS. This so called security hazards are self created hazards, by virtue of the misdeeds of the ministers/politicians. I request you to at least put an end to this expenditure for a trial period of 3 months and see how much money will be saved by this restriction. Thank you, Somsekhar P.Nair.

Suggestions:Honourable Finance Minister, Raising individual income taxes is not the solution to everything. All of us want to contribute and many have already done so before the Govt decided to introduce the surcharge. I am a strong BJP supporter but in the last 3 years I am paying more and more tax every year and when budget-time comes thats one thing that is a constant. It is exactly opposite what your predecessors (Mr Singh and Mr. Chidambaram) had done.. I can think of a 100 ways to raise money fairly and from a broader spectrum of people(not only salaried ones). Every time something happens(be it Kargil or an earthquake or a flood) the salaried middle-class people are the only people who have to bear the burden. This does not make any fiancial sense to me..

Suggestions:Date: Feb. 5, 2001 To, Shri Yashwant Sinha Hon’ble Union Minister of Finance North Block, New Delhi Subject: Suggestion for budget:- to provide for penal rate of interest by the Government for the period from the date of seizure to the date of release of goods as a measure of advancement of liberalisation Sir, There are certain common statutory provisions in many Acts like Income Tax Act, Customs Act, Central Excise Act, Foreign Trade (Development & Regulation) Act etc. relating to search and seizure. Under this the competent officer can seize the goods and retain it for a period of six months. The seizure can be extended for a further period of six months by an officer equivalent to the rank of Joint Secretary to the Government of India. In case a show cause notice is issued the seized goods can be retained till such time as show cause is disposed off. No compensation is provided if it is found that the goods is wrongly seized and it had to be finally released by the Government. The total period of seizure is sufficient enough to drive a person out of business. This provision has primarily been used to harass the non-compliant business person. This is quite evident from the total value of goods that is seized and the value of goods that is finally confiscated and retained by the government at the appellate level. One should not get confused with the number of so called successful seizures as such cases of seizure are small value seizures which are stage managed where the culprit is invariably able to flee the scene leaving behind the goods. The number of cases in which prosecution is launched is even less and the number of cases in which penalty is confirmed is only by exception. The situation is so bad that CBEC has to issue instruction by way of Circular No. 91/2000 dated 20.11.2000 advising field formation to exercise restrain in seizure as “most of the time these stocks have to be eventually released…” PROPOSAL :- No need to delete the provision. It requires amendment. If the goods are illegally held by a person this would amount to unjust enrichment on his part and Government is perfectly right in seizure and finally confiscation of illegally held goods. However, if it is finally established that the goods that is seized/confiscated was legally held by a person and is ultimately released to him, the Government should compensate the person by way of penal interest at the rate of 24% per annum for the period of seizure/confiscation. This is the minimum that is required to compensate for the loss of opportunity for the business due to such seizure. The proposed amendment will not weaken enforcement action. It will only lead to better enforcement where it is really required. Seizure should be based on proper intelligence report. Thanks Akhileshwar Sharma

Suggestions:Dear Mr Finance Minister You are doing a nice job by adding a surcharge of 2 % on tax-paying people. However, it would be better if you change the upper limit from Rs. 60,000 to Rs 1,00,000 atleast. Another point, is it would be better to have transparency in observing that the funds collected through various means reach the right people. Already, there are many reports of aid getting pilferred enroute and foreign people (coming hear to help) getting frustrated due to lack of proper coordination about people supervising the relief operations. While it is your duty to ensure that the government treasury is full, it should also be your duty to ensure that the money is used rightly. ALL THE BEST. Anadi Goyal

There are so many evaders who go scot free and the huge amount of black money that keeps accruing on side in various places and with different people. We toil for fourteen hours a day to get something and most unfortunately we happen to be branded in the higher tax bracket. It is so easy to exploit these genuine tax payers that any adjustment can be loaded. Never has a sincere attempt been made to increase the tax base. Successively, we have been observing the trend of surcharges being levied on us. It is the responsibility of the government to take care of natural calamities and other disturbances. It has become a joke that for anything surcharge is levied. We can understand if it is once. But repeatedly if this trend continues - what are we to think of this? No doubt contributions have to be made by everybody but it is not that a particular section is vulnerable to some harsh policies. In this country politicians remind people only of sacrifices to be made. We expected a budget which would be reasonable for middle class people like us, this year. But unfortunately destiny willed it otherwise. Finally donations continue to pour in from all corners of the world to the relief of victims, what is the guarantee that it would reach the people who deserve it the most? We only pray god to see that everything goes well and save this country.
