On another note - does anyone know if sonia g or atal b pay for the lpg consumed at their official residences or whether the GOI pays for it ??? hi,

Why cant the GOI ask TCS/Infy/Wipro/Satyam to develop some web enabled software that can automatically removes the subsidy from someone whos last IT return showed an income of over say 10.00 lacs a year..maybe by saying that gas bookings can be made only by households with atleast 1 PAN Card or some such filter ? It will ensure we get more and more people to get a PAN which can only be a good thing. And instead of paying these companies, the GOI can give them an additional tax break so there's no corruption involved when the cos. need to collect money ! Once we establish norms for removal of subsidies from those who dont need it we are in a better position to direct it to those who do. But then what can you say of a party whose CM Designate in Kerala despises IT and all that it symbolises like progress, development and efficiency ?
