Top in Government is heavy
The top in the Government has become heavy. We need to first bring a cut here. Thereafter, the middle level and lower level should be taken up for cut. All offices in the country should start processing cases only in electronic mode and not in physical mode. The Government servants, be it may be at any level (barring some sensitive ones) should only be given transportation and allowance and house rent. We would be saving money on misuse of official transport. We would also be divesting ourselves with a majority of CPWD activities.

Tax Compliance Society
Tax simplification is key to success of tax compliance society. Number of good measures have been taken by the Govt. with regards to direct tax compliance. Return Forms have been simplified. One punch line of IT Department in ad. of return filing has worked extremely well that we trust you and less than 1% cases are scrutinised. Govt. tried to remove fair among the public. Revenue as well as tax payer numbers went up. It looks that people are not averse of paying tax and filing return but are afraid of difficulties and harassment faced during scrutiny and in result do not file returns. Govt. can remove this fear at least for lower income group i.e. people earning less than Rs. 5 lakhs by way of not scrutinising the cases. It is anticipated that this will increase number of tax payers as well as revenue and return filers. People have shown trust and confidence in the Govt. and with this result, the ruling party or its alliance is in power in 18 States. Now it is turn of the Govt. to reciprocate in the same way by having trust and confidence in public. A small initiative can be taken that the cases of Sr. Citizens specially retired and house wives whose income is less than Rs 5 lakhs are not put to scrutiny. This will be very positive step to show some regards to sr. citizens and will create a environment of trust and confidence among the public. Any retrograde step will not give desired result . The officials involved in scrutiny of such cases can easily be deployed for more productive and innovative work so that the revenue or direct tax collection increases. Let us work together in this direction so the Govt. can achieve its objective of development. At the same time Govt. must recover the money from loan defaulters so the revenue deficit is met comfortably. It is estimated that even recovery from 100 defaulters may solve the problem. All the best.
