There is no educational institution, which taught you to cheat therefore I fail to understand that where did the Indian bureaucracy learn to cheat the citizens. Further, the way systemic corruption pervades the complete system is mind boggling. To me, this is most despicable & disgusting feature of the Indian bureaucracy & every Indian must […]
In respect of the exports, the Parliament has laid down that the task of the DGFT is to facilitate exports. The same applies to the CBIC because the local taxes cannot be exported therefore there is no responsibility of the collection of the taxes associated with the exports, but the responsibility is to administer the […]
The Udyog Bhawan & the North Block houses the elite policymakers & probably the best of the IAS & the IRS (because in any efficient system, the merit should rise to the top & be entrusted with policy making task) but then when you find the best in the country indulging into a con game […]
When you are in the position of power, it is very easy to abuse the authority. On the other hand, it is very difficult for an authority to find courage to accept a mistake & say sorry. This is truer of the Indian bureaucracy than anywhere else in the world because there is no responsibility […]

On the […]

Therefore, it is really very surprising that why the DGFT should create stumbling blocks in the smooth implementation of the legal provisions contained in the FTP/HBP. I am really very startled by the […]
A speaking order is an order that speaks for itself & should stand the test of legality, fairness and reason at all the higher appellate forums. Effectively this means that, the order should contain all the details of the issue, clear findings and a reasoned order. However, when the system is corrupt & rotten to […]
As on today also, I am very often perturbed while dealing with the Indian bureaucracy that whether I am dealing with a policy maker or the gatekeeper for the simple reason that when the policymakers are caught cheating, they simply pretend that they do not even understand the very basics ! The Prime Minister & […]
In this case, you can very well safely add the name of RBI also in the doomsayers of the Indian economy. Its an old adage that politics is the game of scoundrels.
