It is my democratic right to criticise the government if I feel it is incompetent. As long as there is no official restriction on this I will exercise my right. The day modi decides to make Kim jong Il (or whatever) his political guru and ban this - I guess taking up weapons will remain the only choice.

Really? Have you designed the s/w yourself? Looks like you got cheated by a neighbourhood grocery store in giving you an Aadhaar cardAbhishekC wrote: ↑Sat Nov 04, 2017 4:45 pmAadhar cards are generated by private contractors, not UIDAI itself. However, I don't think that is where the problem came from. Most of the farmers are illetrate or not literate enough. They may have coughed up money to touts and paid them to get aadhar. They pocketed the money and gave them a template print-out after changing the name and photo of the farmer - IMO.
. Otherwise, you'd have known that the private Aadhaar contractors can generate only a receipt number containing the timestamp of the submission (which can be done offline and uploaded later). The actual number is generated by the Aadhaar DB after processing. It is a database, which means the primary keys have to be unique and issued by the database itself to be valid and unique. If the DB is indeed so bad, why not direct a few words at Nandan Nilekani and MaunMohan-ji as well? Why this special love for Modi? Don't bother with an answer to this question, I get it.Gyaan drippping from each word. Not a source in support of these claims. But those who question these claims are bhakts.AbhishekC wrote: ↑Sat Nov 04, 2017 4:45 pmI believe the intention was to make the governance system unstable by infusing this poor quality data into every facet of government. Modi is either compliant in this game or is too dense to understand how aadhar will create destabilising effects. Or my favourite - Modi is a control freak mentality person - he just gets off on making a system that controls everybody.

( (. Rinse and repeat.New Delhi: Times Now’s investigation has revealed that six Aam Aadmi Party leaders and one former AAP member hid their assets from the Election Commission.
Acting on the tip-off of a whistleblower around three months ago, Times Now has been investigating the leaders who have committed a grave sin of omission.
The leaders have not mentioned their involvement in private companies, valuing lakhs of rupees – which is a violation of Section 125(A) of the Representation of Peoples Act and is liable for imprisonment for up to six months or fine or both.
The seven leaders include Asim Ahmed Khan, Adarsh Shastri, Kailash Gahlot, Mohd Yunus, Pramila Tokas, Rajesh Rishi and Kumar Vishwas.
AAP MLA Adarsh Shastri, grandson of former PM Lal Bahadur Shastri was a director in a UK company, but failed to mention it in his 2015 election affidavit. When confronted, Shastri stated that it was just an ‘honorary director’ in the firm, and thus, didn't need to mention it in the affidavit. However, Times Now’s report reveals that the company's documents do not mention anything about an honorary directorship.
AAP MLA Mohammad Yunus has shares in a company called the Federation of All India Haj Umrah Tour Organisers – which he did not mention in the affidavit. When questioned about it, he claimed that it was an NGO and not a company.
MLA Kailash Gahlot hid his shares in Rosy Builders Pvt Ltd and Superstar Innovation Pvt Ltd. When Times Now confronted Gahlot, he evaded all questions and stated that he will have to check his documents.
AP MLA Rajesh Rishi failed to mention his wife's directorship in the company Winner Electrotec Pvt Ltd and then claimed that his wife became a director in the firm after he had filed the affidavit with the poll panel.
AAP MLA Pramila Tokas who did not reveal in the affidavit the shares that her husband owns in companies and when confronted, she stated that since the companies are linked to her husband, and not her, there was no need to mention them in the affidavit.
When Times Now confronted the seven AAP leaders who hid their assets on their election affidavits, some were evasive, while others were completely brazen. The channel was also threatened with legal action for the report.
I feel you are completely wrong here, and wrong at blaming Modi & Co for this goof up. The bogus number was accepted at the bank's computer system. So the onus of correcting the existing data and fixing this issue remains at the bank level. My salary account is with CitiBank. I got an SMS indicating that I need to link this with Aadhaar. I had to comply, for the simple reason that they will lock the account post Dec.31st (that is the threat, and enforcing compliance). I have an Aadhaar # and I updated that on the netbanking system. Now within two days flat I got an SMS saying my Aadhaar linking has failed, because the name on my account and the name on Aadhar card was not matching (Aadhar has my expaned name First Middle Last Name, where as my bank ac # has only my First Name & initials). So they rejected my request. Now I have written them a letter with all the relevant details. The onus how ever is on me to get this fixed for good, but the bank has also been quite strict about it. In the issue you mentioned, it was the bank who shirked their responsibility. Blaming this on Modi is like blaming him for the local Thanedaar/Daroga not "marching out" the night beat police men.AbhishekC wrote:The real scandal is that junk aadhar numbers are now part of the system. This is being spun into a positive news that a major scandal was prevented using aadhar.
Wrong. Private contractors have to ride piggy back on the the Aadhaar software to get the registration done. I myself got the Aadhaar registration done by a private party. The address in my card was of my home town (in Kerala). The data entry+finger print scan+iris scan was done at the local contractor level. All he gave me was a registration number (a print out). The UIDAI authorities actually sent the paper copy of my Aadhaar card to the address mentioned in the Aadhaar system by India Post (all government agencies). The paper copy is a bit tough to carry easily, so the contractor had a scheme in which he would give a plastic card. He charges extra, and also took a consensus letter signed from me. But even this plastic card (size of a credit card) only contains what ever information the printed card which came from UIDAI.Aadhar cards are generated by private contractors, not UIDAI itself. However, I don't think that is where the problem came from.
The EPIC or election voters ID came in when India was taking baby steps in computerisation. I am sure that this system would get phased out in a timely manner (Modi or no Modi). Election voter ID card was introduced in late 1990s, and to be frank if my wife had seen my photo graph on my election ID card the marriage would have not happened.Dumal wrote:But also note that PAN only covers taxpayers and if you ask all to get PAN, that will be panned as overreach. EPIc probably came into being because there was no Aadhar... Makes sense to ask EPIC to be junked once Aadhar takes root...
1 lakh bribe for GST registration? Where in India is this?AbhishekC wrote: ↑Sat Nov 04, 2017 6:10 pmSo, a Rs 1 lakh, bribe will be paid in cheques of Rs 25k each. This is the going rate for GST registration.
As per news reports 60 lakh businesses registered for GST, of which 14 lakh were in tax generating range. If we assume that 50% of the tax paying businesses paid 1 lakh each, the black money generated by GST registration alone was Rs 7000 crore. This has been shared between IT officials and BJP.

I registered my company in May through a sales tax consultant. It didn't cost me anything. Heck...the guy hasn't even billed me yet and I've called him several times asking for the bill. He keeps saying it's nothing and he won't charge me for this small favor as my dad was his first client and my dad helped him out a lot.
My brother runs a couple of small businesses and he did the "online" GST registration himself after attending the training session held by TN sales tax dept. He also files the returns himself every month. It was a little confusing in the beginning but now he has figured out most of the stuff and there aren't too many problems.
I believe appointing YA as the CM of UP was a masterstroke and will go down in history as one of the most important milestones in the ascendancy of the BJP. He is fearless, truly dedicated to Dharmic causes and does not tolerate any nonsense. Does not need to be politically correct. If you see his responses in 'Aap Ki Adalat' before the UP election it is a very clear indicator of the strength of his convictions.Hari Seldon wrote: ↑Sun Nov 05, 2017 6:42 am..................
However, even there, I see green shoots sprouting in the brown landscape. The projection and leveraging of the Yogi as a powerful saffron brand, driven as much by grassroots 'bottom-up' demand as by Modi-Shah 'top-down' facilitation is heartening to see. I hope to see more of it and as word spreads that what the Yogi is doing finds favor both with the electorate at large and the party brass, more yogis will emerge, a new normal will be reset. Or so I hope.
Finally, come poll time, there's zero doubt where my vote and energies will lie - firmly in the lotus camp. No amount of belly-aching on GST, aadhaar or other transient teething-troubles will cause a swing towards the openly anti-Hindu C-system. Period. Only.

LUCKNOW: Promising that the UP government would soon come up with "gaushala" each in the 75 districts of the state, chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday said that these gaushalas will not be operated by government but will have to be taken care by local societies. The CM also refuted claims that the state was the biggest exporter of beef in the country.
Whoa! me thought. If true, this is damning indeed. Turns out truth is as Sri Deans says below:And do you know it is not possible to file a case against an IT officer without taking permission from his senior? And do you you who made this change in law? Modi of course.

I know first time taxpayers who have registered on GSTN with no problem.
CPSE capex comes from the gubmint, or so I thought. But lookie atthe spread between what is happening (10%+ interest rate on loans to CPSEs) versus what is possible (6.5% interest only on loans from the SPV).The government is considering parking a large chunk of the central public sector enterprises’ (CPSEs) “reserves and surpluses” with a special purpose vehicle (SPV), with the twin objectives of imparting more efficiency to the process of investing these funds and enabling the firms to fetch higher returns on their surpluses.
At last count, the CPSEs’ reserves and surpluses stood at around `8 lakh crore. Most of these are currently parked in banks and mutual funds. The latest proposal takes cue from a model successfully followed by Gujarat over the last few years: the state government-owned Gujarat State Financial Services (GSFS) manages the surplus funds of state-level agencies and PSUs, pays a 6.5% annual interest on deposits of up to three years and lends from the corpus to the needy state PSUs at rates lower than banks do, by doing away with a large part of intermediation costs.
The PSUs that have workable investment plans get to use the loans from GSFS, while these funds would have otherwise remained unutilised with the firms that were holding them. According to official sources, the move would give CPSEs, which have the ability to investment in new projects but are finding it difficult to get loans, easy access to low-cost funds pooled from their peers. The deposits in the SPV could be between 3 months and 3 years and advances too are likely to be of similar tenures.
The proposed SPV could deploy idle funds in the market to generate revenues, if there is not sufficient investment demand from PSUs, the sources added.
Currently, the CPSEs borrow at 10%-plus interest rates from banks, but get only 4.25% on bulk deposits up to three-years. In contrast, under a liquid deposit scheme (similar to current account), GSFS pays 5.5% interest per annum compared to nil by banks. Of the reserves and surplus held by CPSEs at the end of FY16, over Rs 2.43 lakh crore was “surplus,” almost equal to the aggregate short-term borrowings by the CPSEs in FY16. While reserves are tied to specified objectives, surplus accounts are where profits reside and dividends are paid off.
Coal India, BHEL, ONGC, Oil India and BPCL are among the CPSEs with the largest amounts as surpluses. At the other end, a clutch of state-run entities like FCI, IndianOil, SAIL, RVNL and Air India are the biggest short-term borrowers among CPSEs, meaning if cheaper funds will enable them to implement their projects faster or remove working capital constraints (see chart).
