  • 1A1-Money-?: e-RUPI: A cashless and contactless voucher based digital payments medium by NPCi. E.g. Education ministry sends SMS/QR code to a Poor Parent, take this ₹600 E-RUPI Code (Sr.NoXXX-XXX-XXX) to Bata Shoes Shop and they will give your child ₹600 worth shoes & socks. So, essentially a prepaid gift voucher. Beneficiary does not require any credit or debit card, a mobile app or Internet banking. Helps in a leak-proof delivery of welfare schemes. This E-Rupi is not a separate virtual currency, because in our example, Educational ministry (or any other government ministry or department) will first deposit cash money into a partner bank (e.g SBI), then partner bank will help generating such E-RUPI Codes. This can also be used by private sector companies for giving e-RUPI coupons to employees for meals, education, travel and gym membership etc. (लाभार्थियों को ‘E-rupi’ नामक एक गुप्त QR कोड भेजा जाएगा. वो जाकर उसे दुकान में अस्पताल में दिखाएगा और वहाँ से उसे सेवा मुहैया की जाएगी.

  • 2-Budget-Taxation?: Tax Terrorism: Earlier, Vodafone had purchased majority shares of Hutch India company and Indian income tax department was demanding large amount of capital gains tax (CGT) on the profit of that share sale. But Vodafone contended that the entire transaction occurred outside India and therefore non-taxable in India. So, 2012: Government had amended the income tax act to demand tax with retrospective effect on those overseas transactions. 2021: Government proposed amendments in the Income-tax Act and Finance Act, 2012 to “UNDO” that. i.e. No tax will be demanded on such share/asset transfer that took place before 2012-May Month. ?Benefit? 1) end of tax terrorism 2) ease of doing business 3) already in another case involving Tax-terrorism on Cairn Energy company , Indian government is facing a very large penalty imposed by a Netherland arbitration tribunal.
