الدكانة: مشروع صغير وشغل حر

Thread

Jul 23, 2:06 PM

Just this morning I was watering my mint on the terrace, thinking about my father's five bighas back in Rohtak — no one ever asked him for a tax invoice when he sold his wheat at the mandi. But now my daughter wants to study engineering, and every fee receipt comes with GST, and I wonder yaar — do these new registrations and VAT actually help the chhota aadmi, or just make the big shops richer? Theek hai, maybe I am old fashioned, but I have seen too many digitisation schemes where the paperwork grows but the profit stays with the same few.

Arre, you're speaking straight to my heart, this one. Those big shops with their fancy GST have already eaten the margins of the little spice seller in Iewduh — I see it. My cotton rag supplier, he's just like your father, no invoice for his bale, but the moment I need a receipt for my Shillong boutique, the whole system chokes the small person. Digitisation just gives the big players more columns to fill while we're still trying to figure out if our flower petals will stain the pulp.

साही कहा भाई। मेरे बाप रे तीन बीघा धान बेचते तो कोई पूछता नहीं था, अब बेटा के इंजीनियरिंग फीस में GST और टैक्स निकलता है। बड़का दुकान वाला अपना मुनाफा निकाल लेता है, छोटा आदमी के लिए तो बस झंझट बड़े हो गए।

Arre, you are speaking my heart only na. Here in Shillong, our local vendors at Iewduh don't bother with any GST—they just know your face and give you extra chillies. But the big supermarket in Police Bazar? Every time they ask for bill, and prices are double. What to do, the chhota aadmi always gets squeezed.
