When government has 20 lakh crore to waive off of rich and regularly waiving off billions of loan this question is invalid that why the concession of rich should not be restores. There is no intention to give anything to public. The intention to catch money from whole country and give to friends and rich. Only those government give concession when they respect to citizen specially senior citizens who have given 60 years to country. There is money to waive of billions, purchase of plane of billions , there is new sansad bhavan , the spending 1.45 lakh crore for hawdi modi and 100 crore for namaste trump, billions in rally so now there is no respect to seniors hence pension and concessions have been stopped. more
This government has hijacked all the rights of citizens of the country by scrupulous way..like putting judges of their own choice in every court,EVM and EC having on their own side..so they are winning election by manipulation bat every level.. therefore the government will not respect any citizen except it's mitra and lobby. more
Non Pensioner Sr Citizens are the WORST affected group. See the Inflation rate, Sky rocketing Medical expenses, over and above increasing expenses in Transport as they can not use Public Transport. Govt must give them relief in their fag end of life. more
Anil, what you say about billions and thousands crores of loans bring waived off by the government is untrue. You are confusing the NCLT and Banks taking a haircut on unrecoverable loan as if governments directs them to do so. It is utterly false. Its is normal to do so all over the world. Banks do exactly the same when loan is unrecoverable with small borrowers. more
In my opinion most of the senior citizens in India don't have any liability towards their children. In fact there should be tax concessions for younger ones, who have to rear their families, arrange children education and higher education apart from his liability towards owning a home and then marrying off children. These are huge responsibilities. Here in India we don't spend money. We keep it for future and even don't spend for ourselves. I respectfully honour Mr. Srivatva and say no one has given their 60 years to the country. I feel, if anybody has given their contribution to country, the first is the defence personnels first. Those who have worked in Government service have had easy life as compared to defence personnels including police and paramilitary. So to me there should be no any additional concessions for Indian senior citizens. I beg pardon, if my views have hurt some of my friend's feelings. more
