Statement on GST rollout

At the midnight stroke of 30th June- 1st July 2017 India's clarion call to usher new era of inclusive,transparent,simplified and effective economy will be heard throughout the nation. 

Goods and Services Tax (GST) will completely overhaul the taxation structure of the country for good, the outgoing taxing infrastructure embodied myriad loopholes which were costing the country dearly not only in form of unaccounted wealth but also in dismantling the confidence of honest taxpayers in the administration's efficacy. 

Those evading the attention of Tax Compliant authorities and carrying out theirs sinister businesses unhindered will find it hard to digest the reality of there being no such avenue in GST regime as in order to claim credit one needs to upload invoice bills and in order to do so one must be registered under GSTN. Moreover, by inclusion of taxation infrastructure the unnecessary expenditures can be effectively tapped. 

To sum up, by maintaining trio equilibrium of democracy, federalism and union India is slowly embracing the path of development unprecedented  in  the world and only the meager outlook will fail to judge the rising superpower of tomorrow.

जय हिंद।

Beginning of Inclusive Economy:GST

As India is inching towards the biggest tax reform since independence there are many struggling hard to come face to face with reality of social inclusion, simplified tax structure and diminishing loopholes facilitating corruption.
Recently a newspaper report enshrined the urgency with which this 'Suit-Boot' lobby of business class is innovating new ways to keep their interests going after roll out of GST from July 1,2017. With the government intentions becoming clear on placing the daily use or basic utility products under 'no or minimum' tax slab the merchants enjoying lion's share finds it is no longer a cake walk to maintain huge profits as the relaxation has to be passed on to the customers.
However, this 'big appetite' class instead of compromising their interests is again inventing tactics to burn pockets of plebeian. It is reported that by reducing the quantity of products by few grams and price according to new tax system they are banking on running their profits unhindered.
Nevertheless, India will become a resilient and transparent economy in days to come and this is just the beginning.

Rekindled India

These are not ordinary times, one may easily sense the tremors recent incidents have caused around the globe be it genocide in middle east in name of faith or surfeiting unemployment globally and above all the threat of climate change encapsulating umpteen disasters in form of natural calamities. 

When the world is preparing itself for abysmal times, India remains exception. Some subliminal and prevaricate efforts have rekindled the plebeian to give up laxity and contrive incessantly to keep up the spirit of hope and devotion alive, and endeavour new era by interlacing spiritualism with rationalism. This will not only quench the human desires but also instill rationale of sustainable approach. 

Although machine age bestowed several presents in form of alleviating manual labour hardships but its unchecked exploitation culminated in bane of myriad problems ranging from health issues to increasing rich-poor gap. To do away with this its necessary to focus on developing village economy and devising new ways so that environment remains unperturbed. This will also generate local employment potential, in addition to checking inflation. 

Time has come when Homo Sapiens should learn harmonizing with their surroundings as far as possible and cut down on theirs' leisure in excess, instead devoting time to unravel their own mind by following the footsteps of great souls born in ancient India who left vast treasure of knowledge to guide future generations.

Skill India: New & Important Initiative

Skill India campaign launched by Government of India caters to maintaining equilibrium between the strength attaining particular skill and its demand in the market. Several reports have adduced the inefficiency of the administration to educe international standard knowledge among those who become eligible for serving after going through institutions. Moreover, it has been apprised of  that approximately 17 million workforce enters learning stage per year and presently country can handle the strength of    4 million, in addition to fully update one with particular skill it takes about   1-4 years. 

Thus realizing the gravity of the situation this campaign is not only important but also warrants interest and support of plebeian to yield desired results.

Important pillars on which rests the soul of this scheme are as follows: 

  1.   Devising qualitative infrastructure and teaching faculties.

       2.   Providing Skill certificate.

       3.   Proper monitoring of attendance and evaluation.

       4.   Placements.

Government has considered placements as the sole parameter of qualitative imparting of skills and it aims to place 75% of trainees by subsidizing training centers accordingly.

Ethics of Polity

Polity of any region epitomizes  philosophy and development of its populace. Levied upon the shoulders of those who lead, is a huge responsibility, in order to commensurate with the magnanimity of the service there should be certain qualities desirable to be inherent in leaders; piety in thoughts, honesty in actions and guardian of diversity. 

Thoughts in subliminal faculties of mind manifests themselves in gross world depending upon the enormity of one's willpower allocated to it. Leaders drive the nation and means taken to develop justifies the end-so pious mind enthuses morality and self-introspection as the basis of development and obsessed mind evolves corrupt practices culminating in decimation of civilization. 

'प्राण जाए पर वचन न जाए', a verse from Tulsidas Ramayan eulogizes the importance of truth behaviour in guiding the society vis-a-vis rulers' credibility rests on their walking the talks. Honesty in implementation of promises also augments trust in nation by rulers around the globe, hence increasing bilateral or multilateral cooperation resulting in overall development of society. 

Diversity is the soul of evolution, inquisitiveness and innovations. Homogeneous society not only educes narrow outlook towards life but also obstructs the path of civilizational improvements vis-a-vis refinement. So, polity should endeavour to sustain heterogeneity in society such that it do not tend to conflict of interests in different sections of ethnicity.

Unchecked Desires

The hullabaloo occurring all over the world in form of stumbling economy, rising terrorism and intolerance among nations to annex neutral territories solely describes what modern world has achieved via unchecked and unwarranted developments in the fields of technology and industrial sectors. The former has led to myriad of mental and physical ailments and the latter has threatened the future of life on this beautiful planet.
The progress of any civilization rests on its innovations and inquisitiveness, the equilibrium in these two aspects harmonizes relations with environment and hence leading peaceful life becomes reality,however imbalance set aside rationale behind any innovation inviting whirlpool of problems culminating in decline of civilization.
The root of sufferings if judged properly can be attributed to lack of self-introspection among individuals, organizations and nations. Every fight is for securing resources bestowed upon living beings by the earth; instead of sharing them judiciously we devote most time of our precious life in accumulating as much as possible and leaving this abode with guilt of  living life congruent to those of animals. In animal kingdom only Homo Sapiens possesses power to think beyond their material desires and if only for mortal pleasures one waste this opportunity nothing can be described as more unfortunate than this.
WE need to arise and awake our mental faculties to unravel hidden sources of power within ourselves and for this the constraint of keeping tap on our hunger of resource accumulation is indispensable.

Demonetization and the truth of fading jobs

On Nov 8,2016 when government decided to cease the high currency notes of ₹500 & ₹1000 to be legal tender new innovations among large cash hoarders started making their way to pacify its effect on their luxuries,consecutively its implications were levied upon poor labourers working in factories,middle class employees in private companies and small traders who relied upon big merchants and industrialists.
The problems faced by first two mentioned above were related to their pay of salaries as their owners started compelling them to accept their dues in cash rather by cheques or other electronic means. There is no doubt of their intention as paying in cash means giving theirs liability of ceased denominations to helpless workers and hence clearing their dirt.
Moreover, problem faced by small traders were somewhat different,they were forced to buy materials at higher cost than that they used to before demonetization,the big merchants solely blamed this on government as according to them they don't have enough to pay their employees leading to creation of artificial  upsurge in market price,affecting populace and hence hurting credibility of government. However,if reasoned properly their excuse was nothing but ivory towers because when Jan Dhan accounts (owned mostly by poor) can be exploited to hide unaccounted wealth then why not in paying monthly dues.
Similar problems are being faced by small farmers as their produce is not getting buyers,at the same time there are thousands who are dying of starvation.
Our credentials as a nation always gets hurt because free ice creams and lollypops are accepted with warmth than working hard and sharing the benefits. Nevertheless, much of the responsibilities lies on government shoulders in checking the intents of those hurting the society in order to safeguard their corrupt practices.

The Lost Fortunes' of India (part-1)

Going through economic policies of British India since its political inception clearly indicates the extent to which India was exploited and her people were deprived of  even basic rights of  living a life by keeping wolf away from their doors. The condition of poverty was forced upon us and our profitable small but effective industries were completely decimated to make way for low quality British products which completely relied on raw imports from India.
Our colonial master's appetite was large they forced upon us their religious  beliefs promising its secular philosophy but it was again trap to weaken the minds of ordinary populace to undermine their own philosophical understandings and eventually leading to almost extinction of proofs of scientific basis of religions of India.
We have lost enough, now is the time for us to move together in order to negate our past losses and promoting each other's cultures so that once again India sings its glory to the world of being the only land of 'Unity in Diversity'.

New Year Wishes: 2017

 

Prevailing situations around the globe giving way to inhuman conditions in middle east,tensions emerging among major powers of the world and high aspirations of developing nations mark the farewell to 2016 and the dawn of 2017.
Never the world was so near to verge of another global war as it is today-
* Uncontrollable population and limited resources.
* Global warming and pollution:lack of interest in dealing in with them.
* Religious fanaticism across globe by undermining the spiritual foundation.
* Rise in number of people with weak characters.
* Societies struggling to acquire materialistic pleasures and neglecting self-introspection.
* Corruption
There are many reasons to believe the declining level in human society culturally and politically but optimistic approach towards 2017 is essential because new goals will be set in imbibed with enthusiasm and if anyhow the weak minds become aware of their true objectives, introspecting their actions, the coming year will not only dynamically check the rise in evils but also open the hidden treasure of enlightened minds which altogether will strengthen our inner self and provide impetus to otherwise weakening relationship of ours with nature.
Let 2017 be the year of our inner self revolution.
Technology is necessary, not for increasing our pleasures but to enhance our UNDERSTANDING.
May this year ours souls satisfy their objectives.
with best regards to all of you.
Yours,
Abhinav Shukla
