Cash transaction tax

The proposed cash transaction tax has drawn a lot criticism and some argue that the tax would add to the work load of banks; not only that but withdrawals for genuine reasons would also be penalised.

Given all this, the Finance Minister could raise the limit to Rs 25,000 or even Rs 50,000.

Frequent withdrawals of large sums from savings accounts, which are likely to be fewer than those from current accounts and other commercial accounts, can be easily monitored.
