The document proposes a new economic system called "Arthakranti" that involves withdrawing high denomination currency above Rs. 50 and replacing the existing taxation system with a single Bank Transaction Tax (BTT) of 2% deducted from all bank transactions. This would generate substantial tax revenue for the government while eliminating black money, increasing banking and stimulating the economy. Key effects of the proposal include boosting market demand, reducing commodity prices, generating adequate tax revenue, improving infrastructure and providing social security. The goal is to create an empowered, prosperous and peaceful India free from corruption and anti-social elements.

50. Implementation of Arthakranti proposal. It’s Effects are Enough revenues with government to make legal provision of funds for political system. High valued cash transactions difficult. Increase the use of the banking system. Effective taxation system leading to eradication of black money. Provision for funding of the political system Funding of the political parties based on a per person amount for the entire population for a five year period. Say Rs.100/person. Total population is to be considered while making this provision The actual fund availability will be in proportion to the actual voting percentage. This funding will be available only to Registered political parties securing more than a certain minimum percentage of votes cast Sample Calculation for funding political parties Giving healthy monthly allowances to the elected representatives The proposal for allowance of elected representatives Empowering democracy

51. Empowering democracy Calculations At the Central Level: Total provision for the entire population for the period of 5 years - 121 Cr * 100 (Per person Amount) = Rs.12100 Cr. Provision per year – Rs.2420 Cr. The total Amount available in proportion to a total valid votes percentage - Say 60% Amount available for 5 year period- 12100 * 60/100 = 7260 Cr. At the State Level: State population say 10 Crores Funds provision for 5 year period = 10 Cr * Rs.100 = Rs.1000 Cr. At the Local level: Population of the urban areas is say, 10 lakh Funds provision for 5 year period = 10 L * Rs.100 = Rs.10 Cr. Actual funding will depend upon the total percentage of votes cast.

Empowering democracy Allowance for elected representatives Back For MPs at Rs 10 Lakh/month For MLAs at Rs 5 Lakh/month For Corporators at Rs. 1,00,000/month For Village Development Officer at Rs. 10,000/month The spending with these provisions will be - At the central level -- 785*10L*12 = Rs. 942 Cr. against a projected revenue of ~Rs. 7,46,651 Cr. = ~0.13 % of the revenue - At the state level (e.g. Maharashtra) – 366*5L*12 = ~Rs. 220 Cr. against a projected revenue of ~Rs. 50,000 Cr. = 0.44 % of the revenue - At the local corporation level (e.g. Aurangabad) – 100*1,00,000*12 = Rs. 12 Cr. against a revenue of ~Rs. 250 Cr. = 4.8 % of the revenue

53. Eradication of Black Money Appropriate remuneration for elected representatives at all levels Legal provision of funds for politics at all levels Provision of funding for political parties based on population Effective funding available for political parties depends upon voting percentage Funding to political parties based on the percentage of votes won Decreased dependence on corruption and criminals Assured clean funding Transparency in politics Dignity & public trust restored Politics professionalized as the qualified people will take it up Decreases ill-influence of local parties in national politics Political parties interested in increasing voting Politics focused on real issues and national interests Increased stability of government Improved functioning and decision making Increased law and order Improved governance Empowering democracy

55. A Social security identification (SSID) is issued to every Indian Citizen. To begin with the beneficiaries of the Social Security Allowance Scheme will be all adult citizens of India beneath the poverty line. For every deserving adult, a fixed amount (linked to DA) , Social Security Allowance, is credited per month into a unique bank account linked to the SSID - Say Rs.2000/ pm -- Based on Food (Rs.900/-) + Shelter (Rs.500/-) + Clothing (Rs.300/-) + Health (Rs.300/-) Government will remove all non-merit subsidies thus freeing up revenue to pay the Social Security Allowance to the deserving citizens All Social security allowance beneficiaries can get credit of Rs.50,000/- (upper limit) from banks Restrictions to ensure correct usage – - No rights to SSA beneficiaries on income for hereditary property - SSA amount can’t be used as security against any other loan Uniform implementation throughout the country Social Security Proposal

56. Social Security proposal Calculations In first phase, scheme will be implemented for people below poverty line. Number of people below poverty line (monthly income below Rs.300/-) is 30 Cr. Total monthly expenditure = Rs. 2000 * 30 Cr = Rs.60,000 Cr Total yearly expenditure = Rs. 60000 Cr * 12 = Rs.7,20,000 Cr Excluding current expenditure of Government over subsidies of - Rs. 1,5,000 Cr, additional yearly expenditure will be - 7,20,000 - 1,50,000 = Rs. 5,70,000 Cr. Considering current national income of Rs. 40,00,000 Cr, this additional expenditure would be ~15% of national income.

57. SSA beneficiaries will not have right on income from hereditary property Bank account for SSA (associated with SS Code) SSA can’t be used as security for any other loan Unique SS code for every citizen Maximum Credit Limit For SSA beneficiaries up to say, Rs. 50,000 Withdrawal of Non-merit subsidies (Central and State) Social Security Allowance (Say Rs.1500 monthly) (linked to DA) (Food, clothing, shelter, health insurance) Saved Gov. Revenue Expenditure Effective implementation of child welfare laws & schemes Increase in Purchasing power of the poor people Increased use of Banking system Credit available to the poor Credit / Capital expansion in the banking system as a whole Opportunities of Corruption are reduced (PDS, fuel etc.) Price distortion removed Assured dignified existence for every citizen Hugely increased demand for goods and services (Necessities) Establishment of Individual credibility with bank Increased Business / Employment opportunities locally Farmers’ suicide checked Decreased Social Unrest (reduced Naxalism, terrorism, extremism, etc.) Balanced Development (Rural and Urban) Dissemination of Population Social security Market driven quality supply of goods & services Improved quality of life
