Why can't @FinMinIndia and @rbi do a better job at public communication? Especially when it involves individuals and small business? Why is our bureaucracy blind to this consistently? @nsitharaman , @PMOIndia @PiyushGoyalOffc
After the ‘ease of doing business’ hit us in the form of EDF rules by our brilliant @RBI and @FinMinIndia, I asked my banker if he knew what needs to be done, or are we covered as YouTube/X/PayPal/Patreon earning journalists?
He said, “Sir, for last one week, we are all struggling to find ways to calm down our customers. We have not been trained on this new rule. We don’t know what details needs to be matched. But we have till October 31, should be able to figure out.”
The RBI is silent if we receive money from some patrons via Patreon/PayPal, do we need to file it? Do we need to file each one separately? Will YouTube/X that pays in foreign currency, be called an importer of our services?
What about online teachers? Freelancers? They need to create invoices for each of their posters they made? If a client doesn’t pay money, your whole business goes bust! What logic is this?
This govt goes after 95% of honest taxpayers, who maintain books, records. They are unable to catch the 5%, so they come with ridiculous rules that make your life hell. More forms, more headache. When the bank gets the ‘purpose code’, when it verifies from the company, why do we need an extra form?
Anyway, thank you @narendramodi ji. This is the ‘ease of business’ we voted for.

Two minutes silence for those reveling at Mumbai's skyline matching that of Manhattan and Shanghai.
"Two new bridges in Ghatkopar have been found to be on collision course, forcing redesign of a bridge that is 30% complete."
What?????? I will say this again. Our government is SPECTACULARLY INCOMPETENT. #GokhaleBridgeSeason2

Immigrants - integrate with your culture, practice their own without forcing upon others. E.g. Parsis in India.
Invaders - Come disguised as immigrants, do everything possible to make their own law as that of the land and subjugate others. (need not name any group - obvious)
Paris is burning.
Do you ever see Indian immigrants doing this?
No, never.
But if it was 5 Indian tourists dancing on a street, entire internet would lose its mind over "civic sense"
And Indians would drown in self hatred & shame.

Ease of doing business is just a slogan. As if making payments abroad wasn't painful enough, now they're making receiving payments painful.

This is a lot of bureaucracy for a simple service export

New rule for reporting software/services exports to RBI. Involves more filings, banking coordination etc. Seems targeted at freelancers, consultants, 1-3 member IT/dev shops, SMEs... since the mid/large cos are already doing this for years.
Will add more friction to the business cycle by slowing down export transactions, payments, cash flows.
IMHO this looks motivated by the familiar Indian bureaucratic playbook - to catch the errant / dishonest 5%, punish the rest 95% as well.
For every step forward, we take two steps backwards!
Clearly reverse EODB at play!

Why are rainbow flags always compulsively anti-establishment, with wants that are beyond logic? Is it all about finding any reason to just protest and release pent-up frustration?
Gays in Paris are calling for Islam and want to live under Sharia.
They believe Islam is the only progressive religion and that it will help them dismantle capitalism.
This will not end well.

If you keep the door of your home liberally open, the first thing to enter is always pests and rodents. They then start coming from the windows too.
France was the first G7 country to recognize “Palestine.” Now they’re “freeing Palestine” in France.
Well done, @EmmanuelMacron.
