Respected Sir, One of the great vision taken for clean India program. Sorry to say that , this is some what happened ,or elsewhere. Still This program not yet reached to Metropolitan city, we can not expect the same to our tiny village near Kanyakumari. ( Vallioor). I am an ex defense person , having 33 years of planning and Administration experience. My suggestion is ,If you want to implement the Clean India Program or else other, You can very well use the Ex Defence persons . You need not to give any separate training for them, Yes they have already experienced with good discipline manner.You need to area wise selection, those who are young, energetic persons and also have the faith in God. Thanks and regards, SS Kumar Kums1963@gmail.com 9442770021. more

Government of India is a big consumer of services rendered by Private sector. As consumer of Service, Service Tax is paid and money goes out of the consolidated fund of India. There is no system with Service Tax Department to ensure that money paid by Government comes back to the Government. I feel instead of paying to the private service provider Tax should be calculated and paid back to the Service Tax Department like TDS of Income Tax. It will serve double purpose. one the amount will not actually go out of the pocket of GOI. secondly, there will be no chance of tax evasion at least for this part of Tax. more

We are not yet ready for a comprehensive tax laws and structures .... 90% people and companies are non tax compliant ... the reason being the complicated tax law that is not understood by a common man or is not even aware of its existence ... another is even if they are aware, the draconian tax slabs on par with the developed countries is too much for Indians who are at the nascent stage of development, who are looking to securing their lives ... unless the personal development of Indians are on par with the developed country ... there will be no tax compliance ... the only solution is to reduce the tax remarkably ... you can see a multi fold increase in tax collection ... I bet ... that is the Indian mindset ... more
