Dear Honorable Finance Minister Sir, I recommend not to change current IT tax rates rather introduce new slabs starting from Rs 100000 with minimum tax rate. This will increase contribution from the mass. To reward tax paying citizens you may transfer suitable money to their bank accounts. This will help Govt to bring more and more people under IT cover. Please consider this one if possible.

My suggestion is that 2%rebate on tax should be given on all shopping done by all people.By this every person will demand bills and shopkeepers can not hide their sale. By this govt get sale tax and income tax from shopkeepers. They already charge taxes from public but don't pay to govt. Govt should also fix cash limit in home and at shops.Swipe machines should be made mandatory for shopkeepers having some sale limit in cities/villages where there is banks within 5 km.No cash payment above 1000/

Suitable amount should be provided for recharging ground water.For recharging provision should be made to dig katcha drains from rivers controlled by gate at starting point These gates should be opened when there is flood situation in river Water will flow in katcha drain by gravity and recharge ground water.Small katcha drains should also be dugged from this big drain at end this will finish in fields. Farmers should be allowed to take water from it to take it up to their recharging wells

We can think of removing or reducing standard deduction and in its place reimburse the tax for the expenses when paid by digital mode. This would encourage people to move towards cashless society where every rupee would be accounted and also it would not impact tax payer or govt in terms of amount of tax that is getting effectively paid.

The Budget is coming. Farmers have their demands, Finance Minister should consider them. We request a price control order for Vital Fungicides and Insecticides. https://www.change.org/p/finanace-minster-of-india-price-control-of-vital-fungicides-and-insecticies?recruiter=437331&utm_source=share_for_starters&utm_medium=copyLink
