Very disturbing situation!
It is estimated that 99% of indian wealth is controlled by 1% of population.1.25
billion population, 40 millions file income tax returns and 90% are
salaried persons i.e.only 10% are non-salaried people. Little over 48000
having taxable income more than 1 crore. No visible efforts to widen
tax networks by non-salaried people. Number of scams have been surfaced
in Govt., public sectors and also in private sectors but no where responsibilities
have been fixed. Banks have written-off more than 1 lakh crore in last
10 years but without fixing the accountability to bank officers. They
enjoy all perks and benefits at the Govt. cost. Present case going against
Mallya not paying 9000 crores. Every one is pointing fingers but no
body is talking why Banks have given loan without doing risk analysis.
No doubt this money has flown out from Banks but Banks are doing the
same things in different form. They are not performing well and Govt.
is supporting through Bank bonds or budgetary support of 24000 crores
from Govt. WHY? If kingfisher could not do well then how Air India is
surviving which is suffering loss last several years and Govt. is pumping
money without any hitch which is also tax payers money. Air India even
running loss gives bonus to their employees. No one can ask the question
why? RBI has reduced the rapo rates number of times but banks have not
passed completely to consumers. RBI is unable to question Banks but
supports in the from of bank bonds, restructuring of loan etc. The interest
rates in small savings schemes of post offices have been reduced. These
post offices are basically serving rural areas and have some social
responsibilities so there has to be different interest rates in comparison
to banks. Banks have large presence in urban and different role to play.
Post offices are survived due to these saving schemes as telegraph services
have been stopped due to technical advancement in telecommunications.
There is fear that if interest rates are further reduced, post offices
will loose business as customers will move to banks for differentiated
services. Govt. has to think very seriously before further reducing
interest rates in small saving schemes of post offices. Govt. has taken
good step asking Assets and Liabilities from people earning more than
Rs.50 Lakhs. At least Govt. has fixed a threshold to channelise their
energy, time and man power in this direction. They should not bother
for ITRs below Rs. 50 lakhs. Govt.is looking transaction being made
thru banks, financial institutes etc but not considering the money flowing
in cash whcih is real generation of un-accounted money. Why do not demonetise
500 and 1000 Rs. notes to reduce black money generation. Let no transaction
in cash more than Rs. 20000. This may be good step.
N Prakash
Adhia would be an excellent Cabinet Secretary
Hasmukh Adhia would make an excellent Cabinet Secretary. His command
over Government is excellent.
A K Singh
Adhia is a great officer
Hasmukh Adhia is a great officer. He will tame the wayward Income tax
and Customs Excise and their inspector raj. Whenever anyone goes to
these offices, no one listens. Either they are on strike, or the inspectors
make you wait outside their rooms for eternity.
Arjun Mallik
Adhia shouldn't go to Gujarat
It would be a pity if Hasmukh Adhia were to go to Gujarat as Chief Secretary.
He has just started showing results in customer friendly administration
in CBEC and CBDT where the Superintendents and the Income tax officers
harass everybody. The senior officers from the IRS cannot even control
these lumpen elements.
Vijayendra Kumar Rathore
He is talented and competent
A talented and competent officer from IRAS. Singh, undoubtedly will
prove his worth.

DATE WITH RTI
|
 |
|
Copies of documents held after the completion of retention
period
The appellant filed the RTI application seeking attested copies
of external examination question papers of B. Arch. for a certain
period, some answer sheets etc. The Respondent informed that according
to rules of the University, the students are supposed to apply
for copies of answer sheets, within 15 days from the date of declaration
of the result. As per the University's retention policy, answer
sheets are retained for three months, from the date of declaration
of result. But, if the student fails to apply within the prescribed
period of 15 days, the answer sheets cannot be given to the student,
though the same are held by the public authority upto three months.
The CIC ruled that the above retention policy of the University
is not a correct practice. If they have retained the answer sheets,
even after the prescribed retention period for any reason, they
cannot deny if it is not destroyed as on the date of RTI application
Comments
No public authority can impose additional restrictions over and
above those prescribed under Section 8 of the RTI Act to deny
any information to the applicant. A Public Authority is expected
to make its own record retention policy and provide information
to any RTI applicant as per the same as long as the records are
not weeded out. If the records have been retained even after the
prescribed retention period, copies of the same cannot be denied
if it is not destroyed as on the date of RTI application. Further,
a Public Authority is required to hold the records, if an RTI
application is pending before the authorities.
