It is a nice gesture from GOI, having good austerity measures and recently petrol and diesel prices reduced umpteenth times, now govet officials will no longer go to official tour in delux class of flght they will be going to economy class, and other measures are well appreciated from people's government.

It is a good step taken by modi government. If they reduce the cost for the travel expense for the MP's who never asks any questions and simply sleeping in the parliment the government can save a huge money.

Certainly a good move by Modi Govt. A lot of money goes into first class air travel without any real outcome.

I personally feel that this should be extended to MPs, MLAs and ministers too except probably CMs and Central ministers and of course the PM and President....Why should the lot be allowed to travel first class ?

There are rules for traveling expenses for bureaucrats. The control is simple. Allow them the reimbursesment of actual expenses within their entitlement as per rules framed for them. There is n need for any more publicity on austerity masures. In fact, it is policticians whose luxury needs be checked more.

Status of a public servant is that he is a public servant so he should not be given any facilities above public itself. They should know their responsibilities more than their status and luxuries that come with as soon as joining government ranks. It's applicable for all politicians as well bureaucrats or even smaller ranks.

The government employees pay and allowances as well as travellin and boarding/ lodging expeses when on tour are governed by statutory rules. Thery don't get more than what is there in rules. It is mainly te politicians who misuse public funds.

The saving on this account will be peanuts in an annual budget of over Rs 16 lakh crores. The new government is preparing alibis as they may not be able to control budget deficits and expenditures. I agree that it is many ministers and elected politicians who amass
funds. It is very evident when one compares their declared wealth every five years when they stand for elections. Even best of the MNC"s are not able to earn at that growth rate. Let us not be fooled into believing that by controlling TA/DA and some seminar expenses here and there the budgetory deficit will be greatly reduced. This is a ritual every two years for the gullible in the public to believeby smart politicians.

Each and every successive measures taken by Modis government is bound to be criticised every by the opposition esp the congress supporters who pronbably forget what a scam filled governance they gave and now have probably got away with half the nations wealth stashed away in safe havens...We may never be able to recover it now ...

So they should have no problems when the rules are amended. Simple.

The NDA government has been tackling problems systematically, we see the petrol prices coming down for the fourth time now...Other prices too have steadied . This measure of sprucing expenditure may seem a small measure but many such measures go a long way in stabilising a shaky and sick economy ...

Financial deficit is now 83% and govt is forced to adopt such measures due to burden of last decades of expensive expenditure incurred by previous government.

A deficit of 83% means for every Rs 100 spent only Rs 17 is income. This is ridiculous. Every year budget is presented to the Parliament and is scrutinized by Members including Opposition who were from BJP in last ten years. Such deficit cannot be sustained and also cannot develop in a matter of five months. The deficits are generally 4 to 5% and occassionally may go higher but have to be compulsorily corrected in next budget as any budget deficit cannot be allowed beyond certain percent as per parliament restrictions. Kindly check the source of 83% deficit reports. Irrespective of which political ideology one may subscribe facts should be correctly reported.

The main reason one will never be able to recover it is because it is conveniently being searched in safe heavens abroad when in fact it is very much within the country where it is not being searched. Even the FM has now asked his IT officials to start unearthing it within the country after coming to know of the reality. The agents of black money generators have taken the country for a ride by diverting attention that black money is stashed away abroad while it is very much within the country and gainfully being utilized by its perpetrators.
