Open Letter to Minister of Environment, Forest and Climate Change
Respected Dr Harsh Vardhan
Ji 21
May 2019
Heartiest congratulations
for your projected win in the new Parliament. It is your good work, sir that
has made your success possible. I hope
you shall continue in the same Ministry but even if you are entrusted with a
new Ministry my request holds good.
Sir, You will agree that
paying taxes is very painful not only at the lower level of society but right
up to the richest person or enterprise. It pinches everyone when a substantial
portion of his hard earned income is taken away from him. Our tax burden
becomes very substantial when we combine Income Tax and GST . Taken together
they take a good part of one’s earning at whatever level he is. At the same
time everybody pays happily for any Goods or Services that he BUYs to meet his
particular requirement. So sir, I have started a mission to motivate our
Government decision makers starting from Hon’ble Prime Minister, to all
Ministers and our bureaucracy to transform our economy from Tax base to Revenue
base by selling Goods and Service that every Ministry produces and can offer.
Logic behind this mission is that while Tax has to be paid by everyone even if he
is not getting any direct or visible benefit but payment for goods and services
is made for what one buys and that does not pinch.
Sir, I want to plant this
idea in your mind that we have to stop charging taxes and make India first Tax
Free country. That shall be the single most impactful selling
point for next elections in 2024. But how is it possible?
Sir, to begin with you
have to just start thinking what Goods and Services your Ministry can offer to
society for which it will happily pay.
For this the first requirement is to know what assets your Ministry
possesses that can be offered for sale. I have developed a methodology to
evaluate all national assets – natural resources as well as concrete and
financial assets. I enclose herewith a PPT that shall give you some inkling of
the Methodology and its far reaching advantages. I shall offer it to Government when I get an
Alliance Partner as my fragile health does not permit me any physical activity.
Sir, even if the budget of
your ministry is small but if all Ministries start generating revenue for their
expenses then need for tax revenue shall go away altogether. I request you to
kindly plant this idea in your mind as to how your ministry can become self
sufficient to meet its operating and development cost.
