कुछ समय से यह देखा जा रहा है कि काफी लोग टैगलाइन या अंकित वाक्यो को काफी ध्यान देते है तथा साथ ही उन्हे सोशल मीडिया मे भी बढ चढकर शेयर करते हैं। माननीय जी से निवेदन है कि निम्न वाक्य को सरकार के "स्वच्छ भारत मिशन" की टैगलाइन बनाकर इसे सार्वजनिक स्थानो पर अंकित करवाये- "सार्वजनिक स्थान तथा सार्वजनिक उपयोग की वस्तु के प्रति आपका व्यवहार आपकी सभ्यता को दर्शाता है।" मेरा मानना है कि उपरोक्त वाक्य को पढ़कर बुद्धिजीवियो को सार्वजनिक वस्तुओ के प्रति सम्मान पैदा होगा।

To make India digitally strong . we have to first create an atmosphere to avoid talent going out of the country.U.S has encashed talents from all over the world. The success is because of insecurity for immigrants. They are always kept on toes to perform. No reservations,no politics,importance to work ethics,forced to update knowledge year to year, access to programs to update capability, no room for the word 'not possible'. You take any software company in US Indians share is max in success.

Sir, Recently you mentioned that highest number of court cases in India is of payment related like cheque bounce, I have a solution to this. Most of these cases happen with current account holders and no current account can be opened by bank without PAN CARD, what merchant do is that they open number of current account with different bank and issues cheque and keep funds. In this case bank should inform RBI about acc no. and PAN CARD and RBI should freeze bank acc opened with that pan card

Proving with data how Rs. 3000 per week cash withdrawal limit would make demonetisation smooth. Three of my suggestions among RBI/gov's new measures.

the biggest deterrent in adoption of digital payments is that all the new schemes(like AEPS etc which provide cheaper transaction costs and faster settlement)have been given exclusively to banks.While europe is moving to an open banking architecture, India although ahead in its backbone payments infrastructure is limiting competition and innovation because it is banks who have exclusive right to provide these services.Suggest you open up APIs of AEPS to registered 3rd party players
