Steps to reduce inflation
by SURENDRA MEHTA on Apr 09, 2008 02:39 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Govt. Should take following steps to check inflation
a. Charge 5% TDS on all Property transaction above Rs.30 Lacs.
b. Start Tax Incentive for setting up Agriculture farm and Dairy activity.
c. Start giving Depriciation benifit for cow's and buffellos so that more and more people get in to Milk and dairy business. Also introduce the Depriciation transfer scheme for such activity.
d. Stop all tax benifits to software and real estate business.

All this method will inspire common man of this country to venture in to agriculture and dairy business which will automatically control inflation.

Best way reduce inflation is to consume less. If we consume less it will bring down demand and eventually the prices but this can lead to recession another economic evil. This cycle of economy will go on.

best way to reduce inflation is to give cheap booze to all by the Govt. Everybody will be drunk and nobody will bother.

I agree with your point 'C'
which is really appreciable since all states in india facing acute shortage of milk and diary products giving depreciation benefits will attract more and more peoples in to this trade and whole country will be self sufficient in milk and diary products. This is really a noval idea.

Main cause of inflation this time is Rising Food price all over the world and cost of Oil.
Both of these prices which are not our FM's controll were low during NDA's regime. (Dont forget NDA govt. passed on all increase in Petro Price to consumer, if they were at power now, petrol would have cost 120 Rs. a liter). any way, main reason of food price increase all over the world is -
1. chnage in our food habit, which is related to increase in life style.
2. conversion of corn, soya to biofuel.
3. continuous drought at Australia, who supplies a huge percentage of corn, wheat (gloabal warming could be one the reason for the drought)
4. Petrolium price has increased input cost of agriculture (irrigation, tractor, transport all require petrolium products).
5. In India neglect of agriculture for last 60 yrs. For last 10 yrs, we reduced our stock , with an idea that we can import it any time required. But it's no longer possible now given the very high international price.
6. All rice producing countries have stopped export to keep their citizen happy (price of rice is sky rocketing in those countries). In fact United nation is predicting global unrest over shortage and high price of food items.
7. In india, we are switching over from agriculture to Industry. Just calculate how much of farm land has been conveted in to SEZ.
8. Higher cost, requires more compensation for the worker, that pushes price for other commodities, Its a vicious cycle.
So whats the way out. Pray to g
