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?"

      Extract :

 

 

      Dec 2017 :  BHIM V 6.0

    A  Matter of  Time  ( 03 Jan 2017 )

 

 

 

 

 

      April 2018 :    BHIM V 7.0

 

    

       Feature :

 

       Integrating all Private Mobile Wallets into BHIM to create UTI ( Unified

 

       Transaction Interface ) , leading to ,

 

 

       UPI + UTI = " Less Cash " + " Less Evasion " + " Less Black "

 

 

        Read Email :

 

      From  UPI to  UTI  ( 07 Dec 2016 )

 

Extract :

 

Ø  In our goal to make India , a LESS CASH economy , UPI / AEPS ( Aadhar Enabled Payment System ), was an important FIRST step

 

 

Ø  But UPI / AEPS , just does NOT cover those sale / purchase transactions which take place using Credit / Debit cards and private brand Mobile Wallets !

 

 

Ø  To ensure that these transactions too get into the database of the Income Tax department , I suggest following :

 

 

           STEP  #  2

 

Ø  All other PRIVATE brand Mobile Wallets ( Paytm / MobiQuick / ItzCash / FreeCharge etc ), must be integrated with UPI, so that the sale / purchase TRANSACTION DATA generated through use of such private mobile wallets too gets integrated into the COMMON database of the Income Tax department

 

 

            STEP  #  3

 

Ø  All Card-Swipe / PoS machines must be UPI / AEPS compliant, so that all sale / purchase TRANSACTION DATA generated through use of all CREDIT / DEBIT cards, too gets integrated into that COMMON database of IT

 

 

            STEP  #  4

 

Ø  All sale / purchase transactions by all other Electronic Fund Transfer Network ( EFTN ), too must be also transmitted / deposited , into this COMMON DATABASE of TRANSACTIONS

 

 

           IN  NUT-SHELL  :

 

Ø  All sale / purchase transactions of any kind ( goods or services ) , MUST all get into a COMMON / CENTRAL database , through introduction of a UTI ( Unified Transaction Interface )

 

 

            UPI + UTI = " Less Cash " + " Less Evasion " + " Less Black "

 

 

             I request Shri Arun Jaitley-ji to consider my suggestion
