It is not farm laws but a stupid PAN number who is to be blamed for all that is happening.
Now that it is amply clear that neither so-called farmers nor the supporters of agitators here are likely to answer my very basic and simple question, let us elaborate on the real reason why so-called farmers want the laws withdrawn.
The answer is very simple but nobody will ever mention it because largescale corruption by them is the main reason.
Now the farm laws state that the farmer's income of selling their produce will remain tax-free as hitherto.
No problem till here. Now came the catch and the main reason of the agitation.
The farm law also requires that the farmer has to indicate the PAN number of the trader whom he sells his produce.
Now the trader is not a farmer and is not exempt from Income Tax. So if he buys thousands of crores of fake produce from farmer he has to sell and pay GST as well as income tax on earnings.
But in reality, neither the farmer has sold anything nor has he bought anything. Till now all farmers used to show all their ill gotten wealth as farm income and avail income tax exemption. Now that route has been closed.
And this is the main reason of the agitation.
Remember Mr. PChidambram in 2012 availed hundreds of crores of IT exemption for selling cauliflower grown in his kitchen garden on grounds as being a farmer.
So it is not farm laws but stupid PAN number who is to be blamed for all that is happening.
