The Tax code by me

Tax is not right of a government but is part or a share put by an Individual in the National progress and is to be utilized for the purpose of growth, security and infrastructure. Tax is the responsibility of each and every citizen and its avoidance is anti-national. We all share our burden of household expences then why not share it for the Nation and common wealth of the citizens. However, tax must be simple, easy to understand and implement and not burden on a common man. More than taxes Indians fear Taxman, who can harass a common man and can even make him loose his peace of mind and trade. This is nothing but punishment for honesty.

Apart from tax, its compliance and its observation and collection cost, accounting are expences which as on this date equal or exceed tax output. This is nothing but waste of resources. Tax in name of Profession Tax, Income Tax, Wealth Tax, Excise, Service Tax, Profession Tax, Import duty, Value Added Tax, B.M.C. Tax etc.. etc.. so many are there with so many windows that a person is likely to make many errors in his life time resulting in chaos in his life. I have hence drafted some simple proposition which must can ease this situation. Tax calculation and accounting must not take more than 2% - 3% of the resources of a person and must be simple and make the person concentrate more on work and less on tax. This will enhance output and automatically taxes will be generated.

Every person above the age of 18 and having earnings must pay a minimum Rs.1,000.00 towards tax. This can be cover up the profession tax which we call. Thus necessity of filing profession tax will be done away with. The exemption must be simple of Rs.2,40,000.00 and anything above this irrespective of age, class and gender should attract Rs.1,000.00 + 15% flat tax over that amount. The concept of exemptions must go and each and every income is taxable. Hence no 80D, 80CC etc. Also now tax is gender and age neutral.

Then comes concept of H.U.F. I think the option must be flat 15% and no exemption as no religion must get any advantage and most H.U.F. files are created to save taxes and not with feeling of undivided family. So it will be Undivided Families and people from all religion can hold joint properties. For the H.U.F. who want to dissolve files must be given a years time for distribution and the share will not be taxed. Similarly latter also division share will not be treated as income.

Then comes the source of Income. I wonder why we have special treatment for agriculturist. Is a farmer earning Rs.20,00,000.00 per annum not a citizen of India or has got a power to be feeling that he is not responsible for this Nation spending. Similarly, investor of all natures cannot claim any special treatment. Thus all exemptions in form of export units or agriculture of investor goes off and there is no concept of long term capital gains. Income is Income and must be taxed at regular rates irrespective of its source. Hence gifts of all nature is a income and must be taxed. It is the Taxpayers contribution to Nation building. No special treatment for equity shares. Similarly rent and other incomes must be without exemptions.

Then comes concept of partnership tax and Company tax. Well partnership must not be taxed separately and the shares must be added with that of the Partners. Though I agree that the return has to be filed separately.

The Corporate must pay flat Rs.3,000.00 + 25% tax with no dividend distribution tax or any other taxes. Perquisites of all nature must be added to that of the staff and it must be not having salaries but Cost of Man power.

The A.O.P. must also be taxed according to Corporate.

Then comes concept of depreciation and R.O.C. well I think when we have to file every thing with registrar of companies then why not have it as a single window of tax also and must be called corporate compliance and tax divison. Hence no need for having two returns. Depreciation must be flat 15% ( for goods with long life) and not reducing balance and 25% for short life. Thereafter when it is disposed off its sale value will be deducted in cost if the asset is replaced and if not added in income. Thus we get out of cluster of separate filing and separate depreciation for ROC and Tax.

Then comes Wealth tax. This is a controversial tax and needs to be scrapped. To accumulate wealth is an Indian tradition and for centuries precious stones were accumulated and hidden. This right exists.

Then comes Audit. Well the exemption must be Rs.3.00 crores for traders and Rs.30.00 lacs for professionals. We know that even with audit Satyam has gone burst hence Audit must only in high Income cases. Internal Audit can be done by a person any time at will.

Then come Excise. I believe in taxing big sources High. Hence where there is no or little scope for evasion like automobiles, tabacco, P.O.Y., Petrol etc. This must be heavy to compensate all others and where the scope is high better keep tax at bay as tax administration will be costly.

Then comes Octroi. Well movement of goods is must and Octroi Naka is a place where corruption breeds. It would be good if instead of Octroi we have it included in GST. GST must be pecked at 15% flat and no other tax must be put. So you just have to pay the difference of the amount payable and amount paid. This will reduce the scope of Income pilferage and the return must be filed with Income Tax return and hence there is no two window and need for cross checking and all this will reduce paper work.

T.D.S. must also be done away with. If you are having a P.A.N. and have filed returns on time each year for last 3 years then you must get a certificate online that the persons income is not subject to TD.S. and pains of deduction, deposit and returns is saved and only when you are not doing so that T.D.S. must be suitably deducted.

The system of having changed duties on each budget is a taboo. It is intelligence which must grow and not the burden of compliance. Budget means that you make your estimates and not in any way means system of lobbing which is eating the national resources. As per Hindu Dharm, we have Dhanteras, where in we can make a budget and we have Ekam is begging of new year and Holi marks end of date of filing returns. We 80% people do it and March is an addition to it making way for more accounting work. So why not go with majority and follow Vikram Samvatshri.

We need to have Bank account Nos. which have prefixed Bank code in the UID and UID and PAN must be same. So track the Bank accounts in fraction of seconds. Moreover, the Bank account will get automatic updates to send the transaction details of any person whos transaction exceeds 30% of annual turnover in a month or excessive funds are moved. This system needs to be designed. The cap on number of accounts to be held must be there just like Audit Limit. So if you have a turnover of say Rs.3.00 crores then 2 Bank accounts, say 50.00 crores upto 4 accounts etc. This coupled with no Banking charges will make things super fine.

This system has to be accompanied by more reforms to be unvailed from time to time. The concept of common man watching budget will go and it will be a reduce taxing and other budgets. Life will be planned and smooth. Some tunning left for others as I am just a common man.

Thus instead of many tax codes, have just one tax code which includes all taxes under one single code and also all compliance including partnership. Limited partnership and company law be separate.

Imagine no Shops licences etc. all under one code and one window filing.. Isnt life simple and peaceful......

Simplicity reduces corruption
More to follow soon. Keep track.

cheque return is an offence in books only

My experience in Court is not so vast but even still I am confident that my experience i enough to know the truth. We all know that today cheque return is an offence under section 138. It's a speedy remedy available to the Complainant. To be honest, its neither speedy nor reasonable, but a nightmare for sufferers. Its a means to harass the victims and the fundamental rights of Justice is almost broken day in day out. I will illustrate the same with some cases.

Well after giving Notice you will have to file a case within 30 days after the Notice period expires. When you file the case you have to attach each and every document to the said Complaint. Well I fail to understand the need of the same. The same document are filed in evidence latter and xerox is served to the accused for the second time. That's waste of natural resources on account of paper and also additional burden to the litigant.

The most fantastic things which amuse me is I pray, I beg, I shall be duty bound to the Court as always... colonial words pinching me to bottom of my heart. I think the litigant comes to seek redress his grievance and is not a beggar or a prayer. He needs to seek relief and/or seek remedy. But there are many in departments who object and insist on the words like pray and beg.

Most Court insist on complainant and Advocate being both present. Burden on Complainant to be present each time leaving his work and standing like a beggar.  The twist is here. I filed a case at Andheri Court. The magistrate asked me to get the Affidavit Notarised. I informed him that affirmation can be before the Court also. He said that since there is no registrar I have to get it Notarised on ground floor. The Notarisation means an additional cost to Complainant but who cares. It seems that Justice is not a right but you are duty bound to beg for Justice. The Notary also do not charge the government notified rates and can ask anything like 200 to 500 and you negotiate it. Unless you know law you will be cheated.

Add to the wounds in Court fees which is 2% non refundable. Well if you have to get the money you have to file suit also making it the more than double court fees. I experience difficulty in getting Court fees of higher denomination and again the litigant is a beggar. At Andheri we had to go to Dindoshi and get the Court fees of Rs. 6000 plus and the time wasted was 2 hours and 200 for the rickshaw. On one occasion I gave an undertaking to get the same and when I went next time to regularise the same the department guy said "KAI DYA".. it doesn't resemble law but give something.

Then when you file the case, invariably you have to give something to the department guy unless you are a big shot and a big Advocate.

Then comes verification of the Complaint. I don't understand why we have to go for second time and verification is not done the same day. Many a times at the Verification date I have realised that since the matter is not numbered the matter is adjourned. Then after the Verification is done, the peon is likely to follow and demand something. Infact verification has to be in particular format of that Court on paper provided by that Court. Taking summons and other Notice including copy of Roznama is also a field where we run around several times and shed money. Its a waste of resources and guilty is the team related to judiciary. 

Then at all stages, for dates etc. some how you have to keep managing people. Many a times the magistrate is not available. If he is there he might say today I am overloaded and the matter is adjourned but my fees, the expenses don't stop. The day is gone especially in a city like Mumbai and no one cares.

I remember several instances of more harassment. In one matter, the matter appeared and magistrate said as per orders 2010 matter is transferred to morning board. Then in morning at 8.30 we realised that matter is not on board and was asked to take date in noon. then in noon I was in High Court and client had left. At 5.00 pm the magistrate called out the matter. My clerk waited and was scolded. He told the magistrate that I was there and he can confirm that client was there at 8.30. the clerk was at receiving end as nothing can be more painful than the magistrate wanting the complainant to come at 8.30 and wait till 5.00. It crawled in my mind that is he a complainant seeking Justice or just a slave who has to suffer as he has entered the Court of Law and is it not that he has been turned into a beggar. The date given was uncomfortable and Clerk requested next date but the magistrate declined. Either I have to come or loose my other matter. Possibility of Magistrate not being on that day cannot be ruled out.

Apart from that whenever we will not be available the magistrate to show that he wants disposal and Advocates are at fault for delay in system will shout like anything unnerving the litigant, who doesn't know whether he has hired a wrong Advocate or is it something else. I have come across cases where litigants start doubting the magistrate and the Advocate also.

By the time evidence starts, the Complainant regrets having come to Court and feels so frustrated that if he is given a licence to kill he will kill the other side and may be Advocate including me and also the magistrate. He starts using foul language and contemporaneous words against magistrate. My position becomes such that I cant say that he is wrong and cannot take it. The litigant by now has spent almost 30% and is nothing nothing nothing but a beggar and we all are responsible, be it, magistrate, department, his Advocate, other side and Advocate and in pressure and frustration he settles and the accused has enjoyed the money may be for 3 years and complainant has paid approx. 30 pc. in that period.. I salute the Justice given with pain in my heart as I am part of the system and my earnings and labour has become tainted and is not pure.

If wounder why there is no system where in you file the case and the verification of original is done then and there itself and inquiry regarding Jurisdiction is done immediately. Then issue Notice and send evidence Affidavit in advance and then direct cross examination and argument. I wonder why not have a proceedings or a separate Court for money related Suits where in we have both criminal punishment and recovery of money. I wonder why waste time of complainant to come to Court. If magistrate not there why not sms it to the Advocate in Advance. Why not incentive of refund of Court fees if you settle or may be pre litigation mediation. Why not expeditious trial. Why not discontinue a persons banking and ban him in banking if he has more than X number of cheques returned within a stipulated period. Why not have central unit record of all accused as it will show whether its habitual offender and if yes trial must be summarily done. If its not and refuttal of liability is there then give accused a fair hearing.

I think the purpose of 138 ( cheque return) has been diluted and it has become a means of victimisation of the complaint, which not stopped will lead to unrest and promotion of white collar crimes as incentive to crime is higher than incentive to be victim.

truth about me and Mumbai

I am from Mumbai, a city which never sleeps. We are 2 crore people, who are treated like animals as we travel like "CATTLES" in "CATTLE CLASS" trains of Mumbai. We are used to now living under threat 24*7. Some day in evening we cant reach home as the motormen are on strike. The real game is not the grievences of the motormen, but the urge of the political parties to take control of the union. No one realises the pain a common man underwent in that 24 hours. No Court took suo moto action against the guilty. No minister showed unhappiness at the sufferings. What was there at end of the day was a pure political statement which was a mocekry of democracy. We suffered and they played dirty politics.

My pain is not that of one day. Some day the Rickshaws go on strike and the Government quietly concedes to their illegitimate demand of a hike of 30% in fare. No one cared to ask us wether we have any complaints in the increase in the fare. The Common mans view was unimportant. We travel by rickshaw. They refuse to go as per our desires, but only allows us to sit when they feel that we are going their way. No one wears uniform, baddges. At times their legs function as signals and their meter is running faster that normal. If there is a hawaldar he may or may not take action against refusal to carry passengers on particular route. If we file a complaint we have to run to police chawkie and thats not possible. We all know and even the police knows that the meter is adjusted most of the times, the rickshaw is driven by a person who is not the owner of the rickshaw and the owner runs a fleet of rickshaw and may be a minister or minsiters relative or his khaas admi. The police knows that most autorickshaws refuse passengers, take extra fare from the airport. Still the Police and top officials are silent. Is it that they want to test are patience and when we start beating up the Rickshawwalas for refusing passengers, then only they will act. I would say that the Governemnt is indierctly signalling us to be violent and then when media will report, then they will set up a ministerial body to look into it and also will pass a BILL ( dont know how to implement existing laws). If the Union represents the drivers cause then they must also take up the blames.

My story doesnt end, its just a beginning. Last two days the taxi guys were the culprits and the Unions and parties like Shiv Sena and MNS behind it and so also a powerful Congress leader. Again same story of political illwill and harrassment. Names published in papert and the CM has no guts to throw out his own minister and also sack the minister incharge of the transport system. Courts dont act suo moto..

The CM and the PM only make statement that the accused and guilty wont be spared. To come in limelight ministers of other portfolio also make statements. The law ministry will talk of new legilations. When the new law comes, it is used to frame innocent or to bail out guilty and nothing more. I have seen that even when someone is convicted in Bomb blast case like sanjay Dutt, he gets bail and is enjoying free world, whereas a common man if accused of a petty offence like having not put up name plate of his shop in Marathi, struggles to even be heard. The Courts have time to dispose of Disputes of two brothers and also mining cases which travels from lower to higher court to final disposal expediously, but a small investor who got deemed relief in MPID case still is struggling to see the Justice be his fate. What is more important AMBANI BANDHU MARAMARI or thousands of common men who has lost life long savings...???? Law is used to frame innocent and he has only two options, to get Justice destroying his entire life for decades or forget Justice.... That means he pays throughout his life in quest for Justice. The guilty seldomn get punished and the dons like Dawood rest in peace as they know that no one will dare to touch them as all will be in trouble if he exposes them including ministers, police and may be Judiciary..

When I go to Court or any government department, then I have to carry money for getting work done. In High Court departments also money works and many are taking bribes and maybe Judges know it. But no action. In Mumbai, on each station where policewala is there, pronography is marketed and the Police is in hand in gloves with all persons dealling in pirated movies, song and softwares. So the police in reality is a protection officer given to the illegal activity traders.

I can say oine thing, there is no incentive for truth. If the guilty files false statement, then Judges take it likely, but a small mistake of victim gives a right to acquittal to the guilty.

In Mumbai, I saw 26/11 and followed by the home minister saying BAADE SHAHR MEIN CHOTE HADSE HOTE RAHTE HAI. He was removed only to calm me and take my votes and once that was done I again became a cattle to be ruled by the same home minister.

We all know the legacy of Sharad Pawar, Praful Patel, Raja, Rane, Mayawati, Arjun Singh, Mulayam Yadav, Sharad Pawar, Sibu Soren etc. We have seen them in a postion where action against is must, but still we maintain silence and the Government grants more power to them. Corruptions are alleged and then the proofs are burried. No one cares.

We know all ministers are growing wealthy and actual benifit of globalisation and progress is felt only when we consider their wealth. We all know that serious allegations have been levied against Raja, Mayawati, Rane, Pawar, Patel, Arjun Singh but still we cant do anything. The Government has been dividing us bit by bit on lines of religion, region, language, caste, reservation etc. etc. and still they claim that they have done a lot and publish it in a page ad in newspapers. They have no money to feed children who are living on streets and are of tender age of 2-4-6, but have money for putting up ads, hoardings, organising parties and functions, arranging security for ministers.

I do not understand the development in Mumbai. The Chief Minister decides that now he wants more FSI for say Hospitals and it is implemented. Oh.. lobby for MHADA.. increase FSI... what is the function of law then and where is the explaination on the basis of which action has been taken or is it discretionery.

I live in Mumbai.. You say you have law. I dont find any builder quoting carpet area rate and most ask for 50% or so in cash. Where is your petrolling on black money. Or is it that since the ministers are so corrupt that they cant even think of ending the parallel economy.

We have full faith in kanoon. What if all Policewala take hafta, what if the Poilce always traps innocent and leave culprits, what if it takes decades to get the matter heard, what if there are all the scams of Judiciary like Dinakaran, Nirmala Yadav, Gazibad scam, Ramaswamy, Somitra sen etc. etc... we still have faith in law and Justice will be done. This is not the statement of the innocent but the clupit, who knows that he will not be punished for years and even when done, the ratio of enjoyment of fruits for wrong done will outsmart the ration of the punishment...

I stay in Mumbai, a city where my bag is checked 24*7 after any tragerdy and still i live in fear. where when I leave home, I say bye to my parents , as I do not know if and when I will return. A city where I may be beaten up for not knowing marathi and the government will do nothing for me but under their pressure will make registration of Birth compulsory in Marathi. I stay in Mumbai, where each office drains me financially. If I dont bribe I will pay in terms of distance travelling and time lost and conveyence. I stay in Mumbai, where overnight an illegal tenanment is ready and documents are there to trace it to ancestral property. I stay in Mumbai, where a BMC tsaff working 4-5 hours is paid several times more than a contract labourer in building making ( I call them bandua mazdoor). I stay in Mumbai where with money you can by anything and everything, where it appears that we have a right to speach, but dare not speak against Rane and Thackareys. I stay in Mumbai.. where I am a common man... but treated as Conman.. I stay in Mumbai

MUMBAIKAR - LAGE RAHO CHATA KHANEPAR

Last evening was a nightmare for many Mumbaikars. The return to home was painful and costly. I returned from Court at 5.00 p.m. At 6.30 p.m. my phone started ringing of friends and relatives regarding closure of train. I too made several calls. There was chaos and confusion whereby some said trains are working and some said it wasnt.


At 8.30 p.m. I left office only to find trouble on roads and in trains. I went to Avocate Anand's Office and Advocate Chavan was also there. We waited till 10.15 for some relief on raod.

At 10.15 p.m. we left the office. By that time about Rs.150.00 was over in snacks (though we had hardly anything filling). We went to marine lines. There was chaos on road and platform. We crossed over to marine drive and for 30 minutes I was running here and there trying to get a cab. Finally Chavan found a cab, but we had 4 people to sit on back seat with no spcae for bags. we were all tight sitting and rotating on laps. There was trouble and pain but smile that we are going home. The cab dropped us at Santacruz at 12.05 a.m. on Highway and we had to shell out Rs.100.00 each.

Caught another cab to reach home at 1.15 am. I was exhausted. Rs.250.00 spent on conveyence and other things. So tired that since morning I am not well. Today the trains were closed and I could not go to office. The loss to me was Rs.3000.00 approx.

I think there were many like me, many day bread earners. But who cares. Some motorman strikes. A minister takes credit odf having dropped all cases gainst the motor men and persuaded them to end strike. A political game for them. But for a common man like me, loss and loss.... which the Govt. doesnt care of 1.50 crore people and loss may be a couple of 1000 crores and at hand of handful motorman. This is inhuman and by meeting their demands it is a pat to inhuman behaviour. But who cares. In name of minority, schedule caste, locals we can do anything and stop the nation.

According to me, the strikers are like the internal threat to nation and a war against the nation for which we must take action. They can be compared to Ajmal Kasab with only difference that they did not end lives ( we dont know if someone died in ambulance due to traffic).

But all forget what if 1.50 crore Mumbaikars go on strike. The government will collapse and many ministers will sink. I am sure it will happen all all these tamashais will have no supporters even in their homes. But when is a question??? how long will we tolarate? We are more responsible, as we bear it all..."anyay karne se sahane wala bada gunehagar hota hai".

Judicial accountability

Vande Matram,
link :
http://www.slideshare.net/missionjustice/mission-justice-0001-higher-judiciary

We have prepared a slide show on Judiciary. Our intention is to speed up the process of Justice and remove all ineffeciencies and lacunas in Judiciary.

Sending the link (at bottom) to you. This is 69 slides and display will take 30 minutes. Please send it accross to all NGO, activist volunteers across the nation. No activist/NGO/group be left unturned or not approached. put this up on as many sites and blogs as you can... contact as much media as you can... this is new quit india movement which will be in few phases, to irradicate all ills... we will do many more such slides etc.... with support of you all and masses at large..

We plan to make 5th to 9th a four day period where this slide show is displayed by all NGO/ groups to groups of 30-40 ppl each accross the nation AND MAY BE AT A GIVEN POINT OF TIME THERE MAY BE 100 GROUPS DISCUSSING THIS ISSUE....

We want all to conduct and have live debates and opinion. once the program of any group/NGO is finalised email: missionjustice@ymail.com to enable us to give press release. then send pics of the function for press release and then final closure on 10th. with press release of all the activities done.... ideas collected.. opinions... signatures... campaigns etc...

Bal Ganghadar Tilak " Swaraj is my birthright and I shall have it". We say " Justice is our birth and fundamental right and access to the system for the same is a bigger right and to have the best judicial system is a common right - lets have it".

A man alone cannot do anything. But if we all contribute to make things better may be after 4-5 years things will be totally different and you and next generations will enjoy the fruits of the same... Dont wait for your friends and neighbours but start it today and right now... "A MISSION FOR YOUR NATION BY AN ARMY OF UNARMED PEOPLE WITHOUT VIOLENCE". Be a soldier of this nation. Time has given you an opportunity to do something for the nation and dont let it go in vain..

GDP NOs. and growth

We tell ourselves that, today we are part of a fast progressing nation. The Nation's GDP will grow at double digit. Then industrial growth is high. We have Fortune 500 companies and we also boost of Indian Multi Nationals earning billions and taking over international firms like Jaguar. We have high paid Directors, international schools, all latest gadgets, the high priced Actors, the telephone density growing at very high rate, SIM CARD free. We talk of taking over GDP of many nations and call ourselves potential SUPER POWER. We are BPO power house, IT hub... etc.. etc..

But think of this, if you are having 100 crores and your child sleeps without food/ begging on road/ crying on streets , eyes wet and hands empty, stomach full of only worms and education a distant dream. This is reality of India. Today we have around a crore (my estimate) children who do not have food, clothes, shelter and education. We may have 10,000 crores to protect bureaucrats/ politians and judiciary but none to feed the small children who are deprived of their fundamental rights.

Think if out of this 1 crore even 50,000 start hating us and the nation, think they join taliban who offers them food and some happiness, think if they join Maoisim to take revenge and Justice.. that just 0.5% and that is possible. Then we will waste crores fighting them and crores will be destroyed by these future potential antisocial persons....

Prevention is better than cure. So we need to see that each child gets fundamental and basic human rights and then only our growth will be sustained and future secure.. Else may be my child will be a victim of their bullet.. so what needs to be done????

I am still thinking, I can just feed 2-3 which I do daily.. Thats all I can do, but what about others... I dont know and my heart cries and eyes see a future civil war and I am scared..... The growth even 205 is meaningless as the future is dark and dreadful... I wish I dont have a too long life too see the war in my own house
