During 2014 general elections, there were a total of 814 million voters
In 2019 , we can assume this number to go up to 900 million
Of these, ( say ) , 400 million
will be women
Our Minister for Women and Child Development,
Smt Maneka Gandhi
has come up with a sure fire method to get all of these
400 million women to vote for BJP in 2019 general election
She has “ requested “ Shri Piyush Goyalji ( acting Finance
Minister ) :
“ Please amend section 64 of the Income Tax Act so as
NOT to tax, assets that are gifted to women by their husbands . Husbands are
apprehensive to transfer assets to women because they fear income accruing from
the asset will become a burden on them “
And she tweeted :
“ Section 64 of the Income Tax Act deals with clubbing
of incomes and provides that if a
husband gifts an asset to his wife and the asset results in some income to the
wife, the income will be added to the taxable income of the husband
The provision was originally formulated in 1960s under
the assumption that wives and daughter-in-law would normally not have any
independent taxable income. However, today , with women leaving an indelible
mark in every field, the Act seems to have an adverse effect “

Congratulations , Smt Gandhi
( gandhim@sansad.nic.in ) :
Leaving aside any beneficial impact this may have on
BJP’s vote share , your suggestion will go a long way to truly “ Empower Women “
And it is much easier to implement than “
Demonetization / GST / Simultaneous Elections “ etc
No political party
will ever dare to oppose such an amendment to the Income Tax Act !
Also consider the following :
In India , it is estimated that some 20,000 tons of
GOLD ( mostly in the form of STRI
DHAN jewellery ) is
locked up in households and lying idle ( worth Rs 57,00,00 crores )
And Indians are piling into
gold like never before.
The latest import-export data
released on Friday shows that India imported $ 41.4 billion worth of gold and
silver in the April-November period of this financial year. That's over Rs
2,15,000 crore at
current exchange rates.
The
imports are a record 56 percent higher
than the corresponding period of last year.
Unfortunately , the conditions governing our current GOLD MONETIZATION
SCHEME has failed to bring this IDLE assets ( mostly held by
Indian women as their “ parent / husband gifted “ , Stri-Dhan
), into official Banking System
I urge Shri Piyush Goyalji to consider my following
suggestion along with the suggestion offered by Smt Gandhi
