FROM GREED TO GREAT ?



In my blog of 18th Sept , I had estimated BLACK MONEY disclosure of ( may be ) , Rs 40,000 crores , under

Undisclosed Foreign Income and Assets Act - 2015

That would have netted Government , Rs 24,000 Cr by way of tax / penalty

I was way off the mark !

The 3 month opportunity window closed two days back , with a disclosure of Rs 3770 cr , by 638 persons , netting Govt Rs 2262 cr  !

Quite like , " Digging the Mountain to find the Mouse "

Now , some knowledgeable persons / organizations have estimated that the amount of BLACK MONEY stashed away domestically , could be close to,
Rs 25 Lakh*Crores !

But then , man-on-the-street guesses that to be Rs 100 Lakh*Crores  !

Time and again , that common man have proved the pundits wrong !

I suppose , the common man knew all along that half-hearted amnesty schemes are bound to fail , as in the past

But pundits refuse to learn from their past mistakes  !

They refuse to recognize that nowhere in the World , any Government has succeeded at any time to legislate the GREED away !

And fail to understand why NDA government is hesitating to harness the unlimited power of SUN - the almighty SUN OF GREED

By :

*    Abolishing Personal Income Tax ( source of the DARKNESS of
      CORRUPTION )

*    Stop asking any questions as to the " Source " for all cash deposits
      made into bank accounts opened under Jan Dhan Yojana

*    Levy a Bank Transaction Tax ( BTT ) of 2 % to yield revenue of
      Rs 15 lakh*crores , which would be 5 times the loss of revenue due to
      abolition of Personal Income Tax

*    Encourage deposits made into Jan Dhan bank accounts to be invested in
      SOLAR POWER SPV Farms , by direct depositing of income derived (
      from sale of electricity to DISCOMs ) into those bank accounts

      
NDA is planning to harness 100 GW of Solar Power by 2020

If above-mentioned suggestion is implemented , India could harness ,

1000 GW of Solar Power by 2020 !

Just imagine what that could do to GDP / SELF-EMPLOYMENT / CLIMATE

Let us harness GREED to make INDIA GREAT  !

Start-Up Eco-Systems / USA vs INDIA



Whereas there is a lot to learn from Start Up Eco-System of Silicon Valley , it cannot be blindly replicated in India

Here is why :

In Silicon Valley , a typical start up has its roots in Internet

These are web sites / mobile apps focusing on,

*  E Commerce

*  Social Media

*  Price Comparison

*  Geo-location

*  Dating

*  Buying - Selling

*  Causes...................etc


In India , we are talking of getting " Unemployed " to launch " Start Ups "

Anywhere between 100 million to 400 million " Unemployed " for whom neither Public Sector nor Private Sector , is in any position to create jobs

We want them to become " Self Employed " - what Shri Narendra Modi described in USA , as our " Personal Sector "

They are unlikely to launch Web-based businesses , even if their businesses will require them to have a Smart phone , on which , their customers can reach them

They aspire to become :

*  Street-side Vendors ( Vegetables / shoes / purses / Fruits / trinkets )

*  Craftsmen ( Plumber / Electrician / Carpenter / Repairer  )

*  Dhobi / Barber / Pan Beedi shop-owner / Tailor / Mochi

*  Doodh-wala / Ruddi Paper-wala / Gajra-wala / Delivery Boy

*  Cook / Maid / Courier / Tuition teacher / beautician / Taxi Driver

*  Home-cooked Tiffin Service / Car wash / Gardening


The contrast ( from Silicon Valley ) is striking !

How can we help millions of jobless to set up such micro businesses ?

As USA entrepreneurs advised :

By Government ( Central / State / Municipal ) getting out of their way !

How ?

*  No licenses / permits / approvals / registrations

*  No personal Income tax ( a dejure recognition of a defacto situation )

I hope Policy Makers will think " Out of Box " and implement ,

Start Up Act - 2015

Anything less just won't make much difference !
