In our socitey we can’t blame others…

Yesterday I had a chance of going to gold merchants shop… it was one of the leading shops in the city… I had been to the anna nagar branch… the shop was marvellous, the lighting’s where pakka and all the sales persons where neatly dressed and they spoke good English too… I was surprised by the way the sales persons handled the customers. Every thing was prefect in that shop… finally when the purchase was made the sales person gives a rough estimate for the items which we have ordered for and he says another word… “go to the counter they will reduce the rates” and in the counter they give a discount of Rs 50 and in addition to that he cuts off the sales tax… i.e he gives the gold without any bills… in a matter of 5mts the shop keeper made sales for up to Rs 50000 and none of the customers received bills for the purchase… they were happy to get the items without bills (i.e without paying tax) and in few mts the shop keeper earned rs 50000 (black money)… this happened in a shop for which majority of the customers were educated people… and this doesn’t stop with jewellery shop… it does exist in all mobile phone shops, medical shop and also in provisional stores…

The government is loosing a huge income because of this practice. And the educated people fit only to see movies like mudhalvan and anniyan and say thing should be like this, our politicians and worst, they r not running the government well blab blab blab….but they will not accept the mistakes which they are doing…. If the educated people are like this then what will uneducated people do… uneducated will smoke in trains and busses and will rob and will do all sort of nonsense…


Finally whom can we blame????

before blaming others we shoud be clear on our part( reform and transform)

yet another good post... thought provoking... our country looses a lot of money every year just becos ppl try to evade paying tax by all means... this money could be used for a betterment of the country... the laws shld be strictly enforced to bring abt the practice of producing bills for every penny spent...

"money matters to an individual...not to the society...."
this situation will change only when the society(our government)starts realizing the value of people's money....

Sales Tax evasion menace is considered the most highest degree of income loss for the Central Exchequer.

What you have forecasted is one side of it. There are also companies which go still mean by charging salestax but not remitting it to the Central Exchequer.

Inspite of stringent statutes in place, the latter crime is being done in broad daylight much to the disgusting connivance of the sales tax authorities themselves.

Just a one liner in a humourous tone about these administration authorities. Shameless scraps and red tape rapscallions.

Very nice post vasanth!! Keep it up! But i would like to say that u can't b tat strict in getting the bills until u purchase for a lump amount. Say if u get tablets for ten rupees r so, they wil not b ready to give bill. Even if u ask, that wil becum only an issue. I feel, Unless n until d shopkeepers want to b loyal, this can't b changed.
