| An
officer to the rank of Assistant Commissioner,
Deputy Commissioners, Joint Commisioner or Commisioner
Income Tax (good cities like Mumbai or Delhi) gets a
posting only if he bribes the senior officers (CBDT
members) or some relatives, brokers of finance
minister. He pays in the range or Rs 2 to 10
lakhs for it. The Junior level officers like ITO or
below them also have to pay in the range of 25
thousand to 1 lakh rupees.
Since
he pays for it he has to get back from Income tax
payers. The said officers earn from the
following places:
Assessment
Orders
Income Tax Raids
Issuing of 80-G Certificates
|
Constables:
A constable or havaldar
has to pay in between 10 to 20000 rupees before he
gets his job to his seniors or the selection team
consisting of police personals. Now if he has to pay
20000 rupees he will earn the same by way of bribery.
Sub Inspectors: He has to spend in between 50
to 75 thousand rupees to get him his job.
Transfer to betters department: The transfer
rate depends upon area to area for the senior officers
like Assistant Commisioners of Police(ACP), Deputy
Commisioner of Police(DCP), Additional Commisioner of
Police(ADD.C.P), Joint Commisioner of Police(JT.C.P)
or Commisioner(CP) in the City and Deputy
Suprintendent of Police(D.S.P), Suprintendent Of
Police (SP), Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG)
of Director General(DG). All the transfer are done by
the Home Department and the money taken is generally
passed to the Senior Officer and Mainly the Home
Minister of State Governments in India.
Solution for Corruption: If the Police Personal
is selected only on merit and given a good salary,
with an assurance of getting a roof under his head
(HOUSE) then he will not be tempted to take bribe. |
The
main cause of corruption in India are the politicians.
They are the ones who need money to fight an election.
Approx; 35 to 50 lakhs are needed by a politician to
fight MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT (MP) election, 10 to 20
lakhs to fight MLA election and around 3 to 5 lakhs
for fighting municipal councilor election. The total
black money required for a 5 year term for all the
election is about 2500 Crores plus their daily
requirements.
Following are the places from where the black money
is generated:
1. Defense Deal by Central Government.
2. Oil Import/ Telecom Licenses/ Sugar import/
Purchase of Aircraft by Civil Aviation Department/
Doordarshan/Chemicals & Fertilizers/Urea Import or
Exports/ ISP Licenses/ Foreign Direct Investment
Proposals/Giving Licenses for Oil Drilling Operation/
Power Generation/ Railways/ Steel Import or Export
licenses/Textile Policy/ Drug Policy etc.
3.
Disinvestments of Public Sector Undertakings.
4. Transfer of officers in Income Tax/ Police
Personals/Banking Sector/Public Sector/Foreign
Postings etc.
Solution
:
1.
Disclosure of Income and other details by Politicians
before election
Public disclosure by candidates will certainly
help in encouraging transparency and probity; when
data is made public, it is possible for the
candidate's competitors, the media and other public
interest groups to probe and challenge any information
they suspect. And, moreover, access to such
information by the public is bound to make political
parties more careful in their choice of candidates.
It
will also help the voter in exercising a certain
degree of political maturity in voicing their mandate
by paying more attention to the credibility of the
candidates, their leadership potential and priorities.
The first effort taken in this direction proves that
promoting transparency in public life is certainly
feasible. We are highly enthused by the positive
response showed by the candidates themselves. Perhaps
the time has come for the authorities concerned to
mandatory requirement that all candidates have to
furnish a basic set of information while registering
nominations; the precise nature of the information has
to be worked out. Given the clamour for transparency
and openness, it is high time that the voters get to
know their candidates beyond the image provided by
cutouts, handouts and megaphones.
