Demonitization by PM and Whispers
The idea of banning high denomination notes was published by WIC
on Feb 22, 2010 and again in March 2010.
http://www.whispersinthecorridors.com/news.html
The two news items in the above context were written by N Natarajan
and was published with a question of Political Will ! Now action by
the Prime Minister has shown that such political will still prevails
in this country.
POLITICS
This is History ( 450 )
With the growth of nationalism, the idea of "my country right or
wrong" developed.
Going by British style, Modi should be given
two more terms !
There is a growing thinking among Narendra Modi fans that going by the
British style, he should be given at least two more terms to set the
things right and put the country on the right track. British, it may
be pointed out here, used to give three years to any Collector or Police
superintendent to give desired results. First year used to be given
for understanding the district, second year for policy making and third
year for implementing the same.
Were notes of MPs changed very next day ?
Rumour mill says that notes of certain MPs, particularly those belonging
to the BJP and the NCP, were changed in huge quantity the very next
day of demonetization declaration by the PM. Is it a fact ?
"Demonetisation - a boon for Banking Industry"
Known for having showed her acumen in various segment in the banking
industry, Mrs. Trishna Guha, who is presently Executive Director in
Dena Bank, is of the view that demonetization - brought in by the Modi
government recently - would be largely beneficial for banking industry.
In an informal chat with the Whispers In The Corridors (Editor- Sanjay
Sharma & Vice President - Abul Hassan) during her recent visit to
Bhopal, Mrs. Guha said that with huge increase in deposits following
demonetization, banks will now not be compelled to borrow money because
of rise in low cost deposits.

Desh ko matt rokko...
My Stock Broker friend and I had decided to meet again...so today we
meet at a Nariman Point Coffee Shop and over Cold Coffees and Sandwiches
we get chatting.
Me: So now there is news that a lot of Black Money has been recycled
via Banks
.. crooked Staff in many Banks have been recycling a
lot of money and making a lot of money for themselves
Friend: And now they say that 80% of the 1000 and 500 have been deposited
.
on 28th of November RBI had announced that 55% of Notes had been deposited
so it's intriguing that in just a few days 25% Notes have been
deposited
.
M: How's this whitewashing been managed by the crooked lot in Banks
.
F: See initially
. Notes were exchanged over the Counter nefariously
. then Bank Staff used Shell Company Accounts
. known Benami
Accounts
.Dormant Accounts ....
M: And then I hear many individuals and Companies helped in whitewashing.....
F : There are Cash Rich Companies
. like Rice Shellers
..Foodgrain
Millers
. Jewelry
. Big Stores etc
.. all have been
used to whitewash currency
M: And I'm sure the nefarious deposits via corrupt Bank Officials and
other Jugaads include a lot of Counterfeit currency
.
F: They have not have bothered to check out the genuineness of the Deposits
and the Currency
.
M: Where have the Deposits reached .....
F: Chalo if we go by the 80% figure than doing a rough per day calculation
I think the figure on 31st December will cross 17 lac crores
..
isn't it odd
as per RBI 14.4 lac crores Notes have been printed
. so from where has this additional amount come from
M: Only plausible cause can be Counterfeit Notes
which means firstly
.. the Counterfeit Notes were grossly undervalued
.. and
a lot of the Counterfeit Notes were accepted by Banks!!!
F: So now the rumor that Government has rehired retired Income Tax Officers
makes sense
which means now the Deposits will be verified thoroughly
seems
the Whitewashed ammount is staggering ...
M: Yes
but if people thought that just depositing Notes would
make their money white they were grossly wrong
.. as it's the Income
Tax that will verify and then only will the amount deposits become white
F: This exercise is long drawn out
.
M: Hopefully the cash position will normalize in 20 days
..Modi
committed in 50 days Cash position will be normal
F: Should be...... printing of 500 Notes is in full swing
. Government
would like to make up to some extent via lower denominations. Normalize
the situation!!!
M: What does the Opposition want
. holding up both Houses!!!!
F: I think on the front it's
. we want Modi in the House for the
Debate on Demonetization
. but the real reason is
what
will we say if there is a Debate!!!
M: Looks like it
. because Modi had come to Rajya Sabha and sat
through the din and even after the House was adjourned in the hope the
Demonetization Debate would start
.
F: There are very important Legislations that need to be passed
.
M: I don't know but I have a feeling that in the last 2 days things
will move
.
F: Why
..
M: Well they know the Public is with Modi and they are seen as 'spoilers'
..
F: The BJP needs to step on the gas on letting Public know what's being
held up and do this vociferously
. like Opposition did not even
allow Disabilities Bill to be Tabled
.
M: But I am also sure Government has a Plan B in place if this 'hold
up' continues!!! Today the RBI has kept Rates unchanged!!!
F: I think it's correct
. there is going to be some loss of momentum
in the economy for a Quarter or so
.. Notes availability is controlled
. Inflation is another factor
. Banks have on their
own already reduced rates...what's wrong with Farroukh Abdullah
M: Arre Mr. Flip Flop
. he's kept the Caveats
.like 'Right
Cause' etc. At the opportune time he will do a backward flip
.
F: Yaar these guys are simply too much
. why did Advani have to
complain aloud about the House not running
. he was present and
he witnessed who is holding up the House
. why blame Speaker and
Parliamentary Affairs Minister
if he had a grouse against them
he could have called them and spoken to them in private
.
M: Yes why .....when he knows anything derogatory for the Government
and it'll be grabbed by Opposition and its Pally Media
F: To me he's taking his role as Maarag Darshak seriously ..only the
nishaana of his guidance is grossly wrong
.it seems he's doing
Maarag Darshak work for the Opposiiton

Congratulations to PM
Congratulations to the PM and his team, for not only demonetisation
but also plugging several loopholes proactively. One hopes that it wont
be allowed to be fizzled out by actions of a few renegades, acting in
connivance with crooks, in all walks of life.
One also hopes that once an action has been initiated, the tempo to
not allow black money to accumulate again , will be continued. Cash
transaction for all purchases beyond a reasonable limt should be totally
banned, aqnd punishment made exemplary, and giving it and other concessions
to people at lower end of income, to totally win them over. Our PM today
has become a legend , far above all others put together. It is our job
now to ensure that we enable him to stay there for many more years to
come.Our country is surely changing , else there would have been riots,
with all the provocations, from opp.politicians and paid news reporters!

Outstanding officer
Nagesh is an outstanding officer of par excellence, very upright and
through with work, I am happy that Government has realised the potential
of unsung heroes of other services who always worked from backroom but
never got overdue recognition.

It's high time to tighten our rules and laws
A K Saxena has every right to say that he does not want "to carry
the tag of Nationalism up my sleeve". But in a country with people
carrying extra territorial allegiances due to religious, financial and
ideological reasons such carrying is a must. We have seen it in JNU
recently, we have seen it 1962 when China attacked us and also seen
from the many terrorists operating freely in our country in various
forums at the behest of our enemies. India has become a soft state because
of the freedom it gives to its citizens which is misused by anti-nationals.
Time we tighten our rules and laws to curtail this misuse.

Grievance of a railway pass holder
A retired Master Craftsman claimed that despite being eligible
for first class pass, the Railways had not been honouring several
clauses related to the journey performed by a pass holder. He
sought Information regarding rules relating to privilege passes
issued to railway employees. The Commission observed that under
the provisions of the RTI Act, 2005, only such information as
is available and existing and held by the public authority or
is under control of the public authority can be provided. The
PIO is not supposed to create information that is not a part of
the record. He is also not required to interpret information or
furnish replies to hypothetical questions. Similarly, redressal
of grievance, reasons for non-compliance of rules /contesting
the actions of the respondent public authority are outside the
purview of the Act. Further, the CIC observed that the appeal
relates to the grievance of the retired employee regarding utilization
of railway passes and lack of awareness and sensitization of the
work force dealing with such matters. This aspect needs to be
re-examined by the competent authority to provide relief and succour
to the affected retired employees in an objective and transparent
manner.
Comments
Even though the redressal of grievance is outside the purview
of the RTI Act, it has been frequently used to obtain some relief.
The Information Commission has been sympathetic to injustice metered
through a system which is not objective or opaque.
