Pritam Singh accuses taxi drivers and hawkers of under declaring their incomes


True story. 

WP's Pritam Singh made broad statement about the self-employed, the taxi drivers and hawkers. They traditionally under declare their income, he said in Parliament. 

Pritam Singh also said that Smart nation and going cashless will render the prospect of them under declaring their income less probable. 

This will result in higher revenue from taxes clawed back from taxi drivers, hawkers and self-employed, which can then go to meet increased expenditure.

The context of this is simply that WP opposes GST and there are other sources of revenue - including taxes from income under-declaring taxi drivers and hawkers.
