DEBATE

Debate - Future of AAP after internal bickerings ?

Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP's) recent mammoth victory in Delhi was a super-landslide (the winning party securing 90 percent or more seats). Even the Congress which had the natural advantage of leading the freedom struggle successfully and had stalwarts like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi could never achieve it in any general election despite dominating the political scene in the country post independence. The rise of the Aam Aadmi Party indicated that people once again saw politics as an act of faith and hope but given the bickerings among its leaders in too a short span, the question that now arises is that What is the future of AAP ?

Absence of Modi from India !

Rahul Gandhi's much criticised sabbatical from politics pales to insignificance compared to the absence of PM, Modi from India most of the time due to his frequent foreign jaunts. Perhaps he wants to redeem his credibility after being dubbed almost an international pariah due to Gujarath riots. His too centralised one man oriented functioning is affecting the administration badly. Senior bureaucratic Postings are so secretive nobody other than Modi knows any thing. Till now Government could not find a replacement for the CabSec, a UPA nominee. Important posts like CIC,CVC, Chairman, Competition Commission etc are all awaiting posting for several months. While he is trying to get a Nehruvian halo around him, his Foreign Minister is looking crestfallen seeing her job being usurped by PM. Modi seems to forget that it is the disgusting sight of Manmohan-Sonia duo and their corruption that mainly brought BJP to power and not his charisma alone. If he thinks otherwise, he is not knowing that sand is slowly sifting away under his feet like what happened in Delhi elections.

Wrong PAN Number

This painful story or a fact experienced by an Indian Citizen who is paying Rs. 8 Lakh Income tax yearly to the Indian Government but a problem which was faced by him has not been resolved till date since 2010-2011.

The problem was, the employer of this individual had mentioned wrong PAN No while depositing/ deducting the Income Tax in the Year 2010-2011 which was not the fault of this Income Tax payee. In lieu of that IT Department had issued a showcase Notice to this Individual "since you have not paid the full applicable IT Return Why can't IT Department panelize you with Rs.10, 000/-or get it sorted out within a month.

So, this Individual started looking for the solution through employer office & IT Department concerned wing. It was the wrong PAN NO mentioned in the TDS certificate. Individual represented the IT Department by saying that since ,it is the employer who is at sources deducting the Income Tax please penalize them because I have provided every correct details with supporting documents to the employers. It was at Government level found correct and at National Level digitalization had rectified this problem of manipulation done by many of the Indian employer. Individual was ensured by the IT department, will do the necessary and your demand Notice will be withdrawn.

Happily the Individual is paying the IT and continuing with his Job.
Last Year when his C.A told him that you are paying more than justified IT to the department because your employer is not deducting correct IT /TDS as per your investment declaration etc. so the Individual decided to go with his C.A and told him to file the return which may attract refund and adjactly, it happened with a communication received from IT department saying that your refund is going to be adjusted against the Demand Notice of Year 2010-2011 with Interest. Therefore, you can contact your Assessing Officer IT Department immediately and within a month time you get it rectified otherwise your refund will be forfeited against the demand Notice.

Now, the Individual was infix what to do? First, he approached his C.A who in return told him that he can't help since the matter pertains to your employer and there, you have to get it rectified by including the amount in TDS Certificate of the Year 2010-2011. Fortunately, employer office staff handling IT Return was effective, he initiated the matter with local IT Department and it was resolved by induction / inclusion of the less Amount which was later on rectified by IT Department Ghaziabad office also.

Individual reached to the Assessing officer shown him the details which was found correct by him over their Department Website the Individual told him to pass-on the information to CPC Bangalore so that my refund can be process A.O told him it has been done.

Many month have passed, the Individual is calling on the toll-free no. of CPC Bangalore & in response told to please contact your A.O, whenever Individual contacted A.O. he said that we have done everything, matter is over from this place you better contact CPC Bangalore. Individual is running to pillar to post in last one year but all in vein.

This is going on for month, leave aside about the refund, the Individual has several times requested over Toll-free No CPC ,Bangalore don't pay me refund but at least confirm me that necessary rectification has been done so in future ,the Individual can't be held responsible for non -payment etc.

A genuine Income tax payee in India is being harassed for a fault which was not committed by him but agony continues.
Solely, Indian bureaucracy is responsible for this. They are having lavish salary parks etc on A/c of exchequers fund. Surprisingly, bureaucracy has understood how to become politician. Now very easy to grab more power, but what will happen to this great Nation. It is very uncertain. You where aware of corruption where give & take was occurring, but this corruption which is invisible can ruin the Nation.

Writer: pray to the almighty that please bless us with wisdom & ethics so that our future generation can have at least good life to thank us.

Innovative mechanism can improve functioning of CGHS

Yes, some innovative mechanism can surely improve functioning of CGHS. There have also been isolated good examples of CGHS functioning. More monitoring and surprise checks should help in its overall functioning. Ministry should provide additional resources and more autonomy to CMOs as a beginning. To achieve efficiency and avoid unnecessary ques etc in CGHS, the working of CGHS system needs organizational management, a social and accountability audit of this system. Even with the present strength of doctors/staff, things can improve to a large extent.

Real problem with Judiciary

The real problem with the judiciary is that the District level Courts are manned by Provincial Judicial Service officers and not an All India Service. With a substantial portion of such recruits joining the High Court, the quality of the judiciary cannot be very high. The lack of merit can only be addressed by an All India Judicial Service. There is another problem. The new CrPC of 1973 destroyed the Executive Magistracy and left it bereft of any power at all. This is the real reason for the breakdown of law and order and administration all over India. It is high time to revisit the old CrPC and see if the changes made by Indira Gandhi thereto in 1973 have led to the desired results? One may argue that the Supreme Court is doing good work, but the very reason why it has to step in in all matters related to administration is the withering away of administration due to the 1973 CrPC amendment.
