@JKGogulBalaji@narendramodi This must be based on turnover , there must be criteria of annual turnover may be https://t.co/mU3nXEbgaq . or based on assessment of Govt.
Dear @narendramodi Ji,
I am writing this not as someone opposing the system, but as a small entrepreneur who genuinely wants to build a successful business in India. 🇮🇳
First, I sincerely thank you for UPI and Digital India. What India has achieved with UPI is extraordinary. Today, even a small business can accept payments instantly from anywhere in the country. This is the New India we are proud of.
But I would like to share the reality faced by technology, hardware and other low-margin businesses like mine.
Consider a simple example:
Laptop Selling Price: ₹80,000
Purchase Price: ₹77,500
Gross Margin: ₹2,500
Now, a ₹300 payment charge may appear small compared with an ₹80,000 transaction.
But for the business:
₹300 = 12% of the entire ₹2,500 margin.
And this is only one cost.
If a small business manages to generate around ₹30,000 - ₹40,000 in monthly margin, it still has to bear:
• UPI MDR / payment charges
• POS & Card MDR / processing charges
• GST on applicable payment/service charges
• Bank and account maintenance charges
• Rent
• Electricity
• Internet, software & accounting
• Transportation and other basic operating expenses
So the ₹30,000 - ₹40,000 margin is not ₹30,000 - ₹40,000 in the entrepreneur's pocket.
But Sometimes that Can be a 10,000 - 15,000/- Profit Per Month Due to Price Hike across all Digital Hardwares and the PC Market is shallow nowadays.
It is what keeps the business running.
A business may generate ₹10 lakh in monthly turnover, but after purchasing the products, the actual margin may still be only ₹30,000 - ₹40,000.
Turnover looks big.
Margins are small.
Expenses are real.
And Modiji, I also understand the Government's perspective.
Nothing comes free.
UPI requires servers, cybersecurity, data centres, payment infrastructure and continuous technological investment. As the world moves rapidly towards AI, semiconductors and digital infrastructure, I completely understand India's need to build and maintain this ecosystem.
I am not against contributing to the nation.
In fact, I voluntarily accepted GST registration and its responsibilities even when my business was small and Below the Threshold. I did so because I believe that if India gives us the opportunity to build, we must also contribute to India.
And when I become a self - sufficient and successful businessman and my taxable income crosses the applicable threshold, I will proudly pay my Income Tax.
Because I don't want to simply take from India.
I want to build in India.
I want to grow in India.
I want to contribute to India. 🇮🇳
My humble request is simply this:
Please consider the actual margin of a business, not just the transaction value.
For a large, high margin business, Manufacturers, Hotel's, etc ₹300 may be manageable.
For someone earning only ₹2,500 on an ₹80,000 laptop, ₹300 is 12% of the entire margin.
That difference is enormous for a small entrepreneur.
If ₹25,000 crore needs to be mobilised to support this ecosystem, I have faith that our Government can find innovative alternatives to raise it without placing disproportionate pressure on low-margin MSMEs.
You have shown India that things once considered impossible can become reality.
So I sincerely hope that a solution can be found where:
🇮🇳 UPI remains strong
🇮🇳 Digital India continues to grow
🇮🇳 Our digital infrastructure gets the funding it needs
🇮🇳 MSMEs remain sustainable
🇮🇳 Young entrepreneurs get the opportunity to grow
I am not asking for everything to be free.
I am asking for a fair and sustainable system that understands the difference between turnover and profit.
Behind every small MSME is someone who invested their savings, took a risk, works every day and carries the hope of building something of their own.
I am one of those people.
I remain, as always, a proud Karyakartha, a proud Indian and a proud nationalist. 🇮🇳
I believe in your vision !
I Belive in Viksit Barath !
Jai Hind !

🚨 RAHUL GANDHI CLAIMS:
“Manufacturing Has Been Destroyed By Demonetisation And GST, One sees Made in China, Vietnam and Bangladesh, but not ‘Made in India’.”
REALITY: FALSE ❌
To claim that manufacturing has been destroyed is not just misleading — it is completely detached from ground reality.
• Mobile-phone production rose from ₹18,900 crore to ₹6.27 lakh crore, while exports surged from ₹1,566 crore to ₹2.60 lakh crore. PLI schemes for Large Scale Electronics Manufacturing have attracted over ₹96,000 crore of investment.
• Electronics production rose from roughly ₹1.9 lakh crore in 2014-15 to ₹13.11 lakh crore in 2025-26 — a 7X increase. Electronics exports rose 11X to ₹4.24 lakh crore.
• The question is simple: How can manufacturing be called “destroyed” when production, investment and exports have all multiplied?
• Global supply chains are moving to India. Companies like Apple, Foxconn, Tata Electronics and Samsung are actively expanding manufacturing and supply chains in India.
• The mobile ecosystem currently supports around 12 lakh direct and indirect jobs, with MeitY schemes alone creating over 5.3 lakh targeted jobs.
• GST replaced a fragmented tax structure with a unified “One Nation, One Tax” system, broadening the tax base and integrating MSMEs into national supply chains.
• Demonetisation accelerated India’s transition towards digital payments and helped create the ecosystem around UPI — today one of the world’s leading digital payment networks.
• Data centre capacity expanded fourfold, from 375 MW to 1,500 MW.
• Across PLI schemes, over ₹2.40 lakh crore has been attracted in investment, generating 14.15 lakh+ jobs and driving ₹15.2 lakh crore+ in exports.
The data tells a very different story from Rahul Gandhi’s claim.
🇮🇳 MADE IN INDIA IS NOT A SLOGAN. IT IS A GROWING MANUFACTURING STORY.
@DHBVNL In Ardee City , Sector 52 , Gurugram DHBVN is not doing basic trimming of wild plants . Broken panels and wild plants growing near the panels are the norm. Ardee City RWA sleeping or fighting with MCG / DHBVN. Residents suffer power cuts . SDO XEN missing from ground.
@kaushikcbasu Uncle, hope you are writing this on X without getting influenced from anyone. Why our Country with such a huge reserve require FDI .These are old school parameters when we used to beg for FDI and be happy with fund we got from other country like present day Pakistan.
Ever since he was removed from the Finance Ministry amid questions over his performance, Subhash Chandra Garg has turned into a full-time doomsayer on the Indian economy.
His latest half-baked “2.6% growth” analysis is yet another reminder of why his economic assessments deserve to be taken with a large pinch of salt.
First, a basic lesson in reading GDP data: 7.8% is real growth. Inflation has already been removed. Official nominal GDP grew 10.3%, from ₹80.00 lakh crore to ₹88.27 lakh crore, while real GDP grew 7.8%. Subtracting 5–6% CPI inflation from an already inflation-adjusted figure is double-deflation, an elementary error that should embarrass a first-year economics student, let alone a former finance secretary. CPI is not even the GDP deflator. (https://t.co/yyRTLcujeP)
Second, the “base was quietly downgraded” allegation is fraudulent comparison. The earlier 7.8% belonged to the old GDP series; 6.9% belongs to the rebased 2022–23 series. In fact, the latest new-series revision increased Q1 FY26 growth from 6.8% to 6.9%. Revisions occur both upward and downward as fresh data arrive. That is standard benchmark-indicator methodology followed internationally, not a conspiracy invented in Garg’s imagination.
Third, he has even read the “discrepancy” backwards. The constant-price discrepancy changed from positive ₹1.37 lakh crore last year to negative ₹1.06 lakh crore this year. It reduced the latest GDP figure. Excluding discrepancies, expenditure components grew approximately 11.2%, not 2.6%. His supposedly devastating argument collapses upon reading the actual table.
And where exactly is Garg’s imaginary 2.6% collapse visible?
* Listed-company profits rose 16%, while revenue grew 18.4%, the fastest in 15 quarters.
* Passenger-vehicle dispatches rose 34.3%; actual retail sales rose 19.1% to their best-ever July level.
* Tractor retail sales jumped 28.1%, another July record.
* Gross FDI reached a 15-year high of $30.7 billion.
* Non-food credit grew 18.3% in June, the strongest Q1 reading since 2012, and accelerated to 19.1% in July.
* Coal India’s supplies rose 18.38% to its highest-ever July offtake.
* Merchandise exports jumped 19.6% to a record $44.24 billion.
* July IIP grew 6.7%, manufacturing 7.3% and capital goods 16.1%.
* Forex reserves reached an all-time high of $729.33 billion.
No single indicator calculates GDP. But this broad expansion across production, investment, credit, consumption, exports and corporate performance completely demolishes Garg’s fantasy of an economy growing at only 2.6%.
India has genuine challenges. Those should be debated honestly. But unemployment slogans and political bitterness cannot replace national-accounting methodology.
Garg has exposed his own inability to read comparable data and demonstrated the same half-baked incompetence that got him out of the Finance Ministry.
The only fictional number here is Garg’s 2.6%.
"If economy is growing at 7.8% why is the PM asking us not to travel abroad, not to buy gold, not to have foreign weddings etc"
Let me explain: East Asian nations (Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and later China) all went through a phase of rapid GDP growth combined with the need to conserve foreign exchange. Here is why that happens.
1. Our economy is growing at a good rate but we still have an import dependence, in both energy and in technology. In fact, the faster the economy grows, the greater the need for both energy and technology inputs.
2. To balance that import dependence, we have to export more and our exports are surging. However, even our exports need advanced technological inputs (precision machines, materials, CPUs, GPUs, advanced software etc) that we need to import today.
3. Catching up in all of these areas takes time, often measured in decades. We have made a good start but we need time.
Look at how long it took East Asia to catch up with the West. Their economies were growing rapidly even as they worked hard to conserve foreign exchange.
That is exactly what our government is trying to do.
Once we gain competence in all the advanced technlogies, and achieve energy independence through renewable energy that we develop the technology for, we would no longer need to conserve foreign exchange.
The situation is similar to a fast growing company that needs capital to grow. So it has to conserve capital to invest in growth. Our nation needs to conserve foreign exchange likewise.
@Kunickaa@SurrbhiM To run your agenda , you people are destroying life of these kids . Suggest her and other kids to stop this and not fall for some money and one minute fame and lead a normal life.that will give her more happiness.
@VinodAgnihotri7@RahulGandhi यहां कौन बोल रहा है कि मनुस्मृति को सपोर्ट करो, बहुत सारे हिन्दू को तो मनुस्मृति कोई किताब है पता ही नहीं होगा, और हिन्दू के घर में गीता और रामायण होता है ना कि मनुस्मृति. लेकिन जो लोग इसपर इतना ज्ञान बाट रहे है उनको दूसरे धर्म के बारे में भी बोलना चाहिए, फिर तो हम समझे .
