A corrective measure

Union Finance Minister, Mr P. Chidambram, has made the right decision by introducing nominal tax on cash-withdrawals exceeding Rs 10,000. Cash payments should also carry a currency-tax of 30 per cent. Payments exceeding Rs 1000 must be made through banks. The validity of `benami' drafts must be reduced to 45 days. Use of credit cards must be discouraged by imposing special tax on purchases made through these cards.
