Khurki and Teenkathiya systems[PIB]

• Above stated term told about agriculture peasantry system of the colonial india in which farmer have to grow Britain needed crop in 3/20 part of their land

• there is no other example in the human civilisation about the war waged by the farmers in a peaceful way against the oppression and injustice of the Britisher under the leadership of Gandhiji.

• the innocent, disarmed farmers raised their voice against the atrocities, exploitations, oppression and extortion of the Britishers and forced them to abolish the system through Satyagraha.

• the Neeley Britishers had confiscated more than one lakh crore fertile lands and set up their kothis there.

• Farmers were being exploited and oppressed in different ways by Neeley Britishers under Khurki and Teenkathiya systems. Under Khurki system,

• the British planters used to pay some money to the farmers (Raiyyat) by mortgaging their lands and houses and compelling them to sow indigo.

• the British administration and Jamindar had established “Teen Kahitya” system under which teen katha land out of one bigha was reserved for indigo (Neel) farming.

• The farmers had to bear the cost of indigo farming and the British planters used to keep the yields without compensating the farmers.

Chit fund issue in india

• Chit fund is the case of financial fraud in which group of person cheated to invest in short term high return scheme

• This kind scheme majorly can be seen in rural india where illiterate people fall in the trap of this group

• Chit fund and pyramid scheme are all synonymous word

Goods and service tax

• It’s the new system proposed to be rolled out from July 1 this year for taxing all goods and services that you consume. The Goods and Services Tax or GST will replace the myriad local, State-level and Central taxes that are built into the price you pay for products, and the service tax as well as cesses that are dovetailed to your outgoes when you dine at a restaurant or pay your mobile phone bills.

• As a single tax that would replace all such duties and cesses, the GST will make India a unified market with a common tax structure, instead of 29 fractured markets. One last thing worth noting: petroleum products and alcohol are being kept out of the GST net for now.

• Nine years after the Indian economy was opened up in 1991, the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government first floated the idea of a simple, transparent and efficient GST regime to substitute the multiple Central and State taxes and cesses. But, like several critical (and often inevitable) reforms in India, the GST took a tortuously long route to reach the cusp of reality — a route marred by resistance, flip-flops and political expediency. April 1, 2010 was the first official target date for kicking off the GST announced by the then Finance Minister P. Chidambaram in the Union Budget for 2006-07.

• Besides improving tax compliance from traders, the GST regime is expected to boost economic growth by a percentage point or two, despite the risk of an initial blip, the government and industry bodies reckon. Investors, often put off by India’s complex taxation
  structure, should find it easier and more attractive to do business in the country and create an important byproduct for India’s fast-growing, young workforce — jobs.
