While addressing the nation in his Mann Ki Baat address on 27th November 2016, the Prime Minister talked about demonetisation and how the step towards cashless society will ensure greater good in the longer run. This was his first address to the nation after the bold step of scrapping high denomination currency notes.
He talked about the benefits of cashless transactions in order to deal with the current situation. He exhorted people to pledge towards making India a cashless society, and if not 100% cashless, then at least to make India a less-cash society.
On the cusp of digital revolution
Upholding the spirit of democracy and participative governance, our Prime Minister not only welcomed the suggestions from the citizens but also acted upon them.
Many people opined that the loopholes in our existing taxation laws somehow gave the leverage to the people to get their unaccounted money as accounted for, and this was the reason behind the sufferings of honest citizens. Therefore our Prime Minister took a step to amend the existing law in order to cover these loopholes. The second amendment bill was passed in the Lok Sabha on 29th November, 2016.
People should treat this amendment as a window of opportunity to declare their undisclosed income as the bill proposes to levy heavy tax and penalty on any unexplained income.
