Our honourable Prime Minister Mr. Atal Bihari Vajpayee very often convey this message that stingent measures will be taken/have to be taken to make our country a developed nation, strong nation and respectable nation. Kindly take them. In today's scenario banking is passing through very bad shape. kindly don't target the banking itself rather attack the root cause of it. Take some measures to tackle NPA's. From employees side I would like to say that kindly don't tax them more and rather make them feel Happy. Wish you good luck and all the best in doing your job in a perfect way.

For encouraging Software engineers to stay with the companies and not migrate allow tax emeptions on foreing income. - education admissions priority on return in all schools as all persons who return do not get admission for their children easily. 4. Allow exemption for Children Education based Mutuals Funds upto 10,000 per child per year (max 2 children)so that parents can plan for paying high cost of professional education 5. PSU Shares disinvestment Please consider allowing 100 tax set off for investment in PSU shares by individuals. This will increase the realisation of the share prices to government and increase motivation to invest in PSU shares. this Write off to be limited to disinvestment by govt only subject to ceiling of 100/250 shares per person. This will ensure FII's cannot hammer shares down before govt. disinvests. Govt will gain anyway by way of capital gains when and if person sells the PSU shares. 6. introduce amensty for gold deposit bonds. Thsi scheme is not taking off. 7. PSU disinvestment should be used to retire foriegn debt. 8. Increase wealth tax exemption limit to 30 lakhs 9.

Suggestions:1)Income tax search shold only be carried out on those who are not filing teturn of income. surveys can be carried out on all other person who are filing return of income. 2)A person should be asked to deposit the tax payable by him in the govt. treasury, which should be refundable after 10 years without interest. this will encourge people to pay/deposit more tax. 3)Standard deduction on salaried employees should be increased to Rs.50000/- without any other condition. 4)All Indian Corporates should be looked at with respect as they have contributed too much for the country's development, Employment etc. While Multinational companies only want to eat the fruits of tress put up by indian coprorate. Hence, Depriciation on capital expenditure to Indian Corporates should be increased by at least 50% from the present level. 5)People paying Income tax must be benifited with priorities in Ration, School/College Admission for children, Air/Rail Reservation. This will encourage non payers to comply. 6) Discretionary powers of the ITO, Jt. Commissioners and Commissioner of Income tax should be reduced. Instead Freindly Income tax atmoshphere for all tax Payers should be made. 7) Please conduct analysis as to how many searches so far has been made to tax payers vs. non tax payers. In fact Income tax department harasses only those who pay taxes. 8) Under all kinds of business, a formula of maximum tax should be worked out. For eg. maximum tax for all professional should be 10% of their gross receipts/sales. If an assessee pays that tax, he should not be questioned for any other reason. thanking you

Foreign tie-up should be mainly concentrated only for technical advancements only and not for making tooth paste, pencils, soaps etc.. 2. In order to save farmers it is necessary to impose additional duties for imports of items which are freely available in Indian markets so that Indian farmers will be protected as no politicians are interested in their sorry state of affairs. 3. Increase tax on soft drinks and encourage the use of tender coconuts. This will help 45 lakhs of poor farmers who are suffering due to crash in the market price. 4. NRI's should be allowed to avail loan facilities with less hussels and reduced interest rate for house construction only. 5. Those who comes under poverty line should be provided with free ration. 6. Funds allocated for natural calamities should be allowed to be utilised to prevent such incidents wherever possible insted of spending after the incidents.

If we had, as innumerable situations had demanded in our past, we would be in a much better situtation. It seems to me that procrastination and myopic prescriptions are the qualities that are quintessentially Indian. I strongly urge you to take whatever steps, however harsh it may be, that are necessary to realestically get down our fiscal deficit and boost the Industry. The people of India only need to be explained to clearly why certain steps are inevitable if we are to become a prosperous nation. Please trust the intelligence of our citizens.

Hence I request the Hon.Finance Minister to consciously consider this request and do something favourably to persons in the middle income range.Hoping for a good outcome in the budget. Sriram.K

Suggestions:Respected minister, I am vijay working in singapore but still an indian citizen. As here in signapore we have CPF scheme. Where employer has to put 20% of the net salary into CPF account of the employee and employee also has to put the same amount. He can only use the money for buying house or can withdraw it after retirement. This cpf money is distributed in 3 parts 1)ordinary account (75%) 2)special account(10%)3)Medisave account (15%). Only money in ordinary account is allowed to use for housing while special is for retirement and medisave is for your urgent medical needs. Where this kind of things are possible in our indian structure. We are benifiting from this very much and we want our indian citizen should also benifit from it. After retirement all the money in all three account will be handed over to the taxpayer. The most important is there is not tax on this 40% CPF and govt pays interest slightly lower than market rate. My request is please implement this kind of thing in your forthcoming or may be in your future budget which will make our taxpayer citizen's life more easy. Thank you for reading this.

Suggestions:Dear sir; why don't you put some sort of tax on food grains output at the time of buying from big formers(by FCI or ELSE) with some barrier on lower side (so that small formers can escape).Because the tax will be on output production who had huge land and producing tonns of grains can be brought in to the tax net.That collection can be utilized for rural agriculture sector so that more small formers can benifit from it.I feel it is genuine because those who are having huge lands and getting output are getting all the resources from (the rural irrigation and other)provided by govt at the service of nation . Provided that it does not send wrong signals to the farm community THINK ABOUT IT SIR!!!!!!!!!! SYPRAJU

Suggestions:Better Tax Slab, Some genuine correction in the investment market. Better incentives for declaring more income, If these things are achieved then only the country's deficiet could be lowered down and could achieve a still lower single digit inflation late as compared to the present one . Thanks Mr. Sinha. Regards Jerome Clive Cardoz. Mumbai.
