Prime Minister’s anguish on his own party-Parliamentarians not responding to his messages on Namo-App is rather confession by Prime Minister that Indian people should not be forced to bear technological advances like petty digital-payments through mobile-phones. There have been and likely to be unnoticed and un-reported forgery in such payments through mobile-phones.
Central government instead of encouraging petty-payments through mobile-phones, should instead concentrate on compulsory payments of big amounts through banking transactions only in order to check parallel economy of black money. Rather Bhim-App and Paytm applicability on mobile-phones should, for time-being, withdrawn till the nation is well-equipped for such technological-advances for which none other than our Parliamentarians can serve as mirrors for revealing the reality.
Monthly cash-withdrawals by an individual should be restricted to Rs 96,000 to be gradually reduced to Rs 50,000. All sale-purchases exceeding say Rs 10,000, even though payment may be made in parts, must be through banks. In case of cash-payments, currency-tax of 30 per cent may be imposed. All expenses exceeding Rs 1000 must be allowed when made through banks.
