This type of state controlling every affair is one of trademark of socialist state. This only lead to corruption. First how will Govt count how much is spent on wedding? Gold , different functions , clothes , catering. .Will Govt ask people to submit bills of all of these ? How will Govt count no. of guests This type of bill will lead to unneccessary harrassment , payments in cash and bribes to Govt officials. sandeep 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beetle Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 People who want to have simple small weddings should put their foot down and have them. The ones who want to call the whole town should do that as long as they can account for the money spent. Earn your money,pay taxes and then do what you want to do with it.

mishra Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) If its large scale wedding is huge there is complete traffic jam. And that too unusually big queue. Still dont know how government can tax but it can make a case. Also, I can understand that some section of society who spends freely, pays disproportionately low taxes and holds earnings in hard cash will come out against a wedding tax proposal. Same group were up in arms against Notebandi too Edited February 17, 2017 by mishra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moniker Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I can't understand how spending the money you have earned for buying something or engaging someone's services to do a task can be called "wastage" of money. The money you pay for the catering goes to the catering workers who prepare the food and serve it during the wedding. The money you pay to rent the wedding hall goes to the people who work there and sustains their families. How is the money "wasted"? Regarding taxes, the government first needs to come up with ways to make people declare their real income and tax the income properly. These populist measures ala Robin Hood to take from the rich and give it to the poor might earn claps and whistles from the commoner but won't do anything to solve the crux of the problem. How people spend their hard earned money is none of the government's business, unless of course if the money is used for illegal activity.

If you have issue with traffic jam, have laws and enforcement of existing laws to make sure private parties don't create public nuisance. You don't need to count number of plates in a wedding buffet to prevent traffic jams. And the 2nd part of your post is rampant classism. Not all those who spend big on weddings are tax-evading thieves. MechEng 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricketics Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I never got a chance to sneak into a big fat Indian wedding without being invited or being related to anyone. It is my dream to go back home and enter a big fat Indian wedding and try all the food and leave doing Namastes and also drop a sagan of $ and saying thank you. Hopefully one day.

They still see it as a goal to 'save money'. They don't see it as 'you make money by spending money, aka investments, property development projects, etc'. Thats the problem.

No surprise. there's a significant chunk of the sub-continent population susceptible to such thinking. Pakistan is exhibit A for that. And surprise, suprise - that country already has such a law on the books. Hindu/Atheistic Fundoos are indeed the mirror image of the Pakistan founding muslim league. Only thing that separates them is the religious color that designates their "tribe'. G_B_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting a cap on the spending is going to affect many ancillary industries like catering, decoration, hotels and lodges, card printers etc. People could end up losing their jobs. I do not see any good coming of this move at all. For anyone. MechEng 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been treated with wide range of culinary delights in every Indian wedding I was invited to. Even before the dinner begins we get massive variety of chaats and starters, I would end up having so many chaats that I would skip dinner completely and wait for desserts which again has huge variety.
