Gas subsidy ending

The Government's decision to end LPG subsidy facility to the rich is laudable. It aims to extend the facility to the poor and deserving is going to release the resources. I feel it sure is going to serve the aim of socially responsible use of public money.

if anything is done for the betterment of public interest then i think its good in sense of all goodness 

We yet need to know the exact position of subsidy on gas.  It is yet to be seen whether subsidy will be limited to non tax payer or only BPL card holders.  

If such measures taken for the upliftment of the downtrodden then it is fine. Maybe at first we may feel our expenses are going high but if it's manageable then there is no problem. Still, I have some doubt in my mind that is on the name of improving the condition of the needy our subsidy will be stopped and later we come to know that the needy were not helped either and like different other scams this also tuns into a big scam called gas subsidy scam. Just an assumption because till date we saw that every government always tried to fool us.

A population brought up on dole and subsidies naturally cannot digest the fact that something worthwhile is being done and that it ultimately benefits the nation as a whole rather a handful who forget to value these freebies ...I sincerely hope Modi also looks into free electricity and water subsidy given in the name of reservation, which is being totally misused ! 

If the purpose of ending  Gas subsidy for the rich is to provide Gas cooking facility to the really poor people who are under BPL, the introduction of this scheme  should be appreciated.

No developed/developing countries could go on subsidies/reservations, donations forever. One has to be prepared to pay for the services availed.  

That's true that those who are capable to pay then they should not avail gas subsidy. Same goes for reservation. It should be based upon economic condition and not on caste and religion. Once again I want to repeat that the government must remain very watchful on the gas subsidy issue so that the real needy get benefited.    

Why was the subsidy given on the first place, only to be taken off? I think it was trick played to first please the aam junta and now in th ename of providing or extending the LPG facility to the BPL people, they are only targeting on future votes banks. I agree we have to be socially responsible but everything in this country is done only to serve one and only purpose...vote!

People who see the things wearing yellow glasses see every thing Yellow. The Gas connection was meant for those who are below the BPL. It was just introduced.  And without waiting for the outcome, already people started  talking. wait and see.

The credit of subsidy to customer's account has been introduced by the present government. Before that, the subsidy was paid to the gas supplier company and individuals paid subsidized price. Fuel is essential item and hence subsidized. Apparently, subsidy is not being totally abolished. This will be withdrawn from comparatively rich people only. But yet we don't know exact criterion on which subsidy will be allowed/ withdrawn. 

Even Modi cannot eliminate subsidies. It can be reduced though. Subsidies are a form of bribe to vote for the ruling party as is alleged by many.

True. There are many things to be known. The subsidy withdrawn from the rich and will be given to the deserving poor below Poverty line. The criteria aspects are yet to be announced.

 

Subsidy is only to help lower income group peoples not for riches. Freeloader is habit and character of Indians. Here in my city EX. MLA who millioners is using subsidy gas. he said that quiting subsidy is Dil Ka Mamla. If rices quite subsidy, than government need to took any action.

The purpose of cancelling the Gas subsidy  is no doubt good. But, the example you quoted, a millionaire using the gas subsidy is misusing the facility aimed to help the people below poverty line.

In this country most of subsidy is using by millioners. Here in my city many wealthy families get BPL Ration cards. Once government decide to paint BPL family on their houses. They also started protest it, and plan of government went in the dustbin.

Very very true. This clearly says that, our acts made for poor are working only for rich and influential. And the Governments too are looking the other way. It's always the poor who suffer.

 

 

Government is ending gas subsidy of consumers who's earning is 10 laks P.A. and more. I think it is not wrong decision.

Now  most non-salaried persons will show incomes below Rs 10 lakhs. Only salaried persons with IT deducted at source will lose subsidy.

Just to avail 100/ per motnh or so no one will take a risk of showing their income below 10 lacs. The rates of subsidized and non-subsidized have only about that much of difference and as per the rules one can take only 12 cylinders per year. Besides they are going to take the subsidy off from all MPs etc too.
