    WHETHER THEY ARE INTENTIONALLY ANNOUCING THIS MEASURES OR NO. I DONT KNOW BUT ONE THING I WANT TO SAY THAT PUT MONEY IN THE HANDS OF ALL THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY AS EMERGENCY LOANS. WHEN YOU GIVE MONEY BY MEANS OF EMERGENCY OVERDRAFT IN THEIR ACCOUNT FOR SAY 12 MONTHS IT IS BETTER, USING THESE MONEY TO CREATE DEMAND FOR GOODS GOODS AND SERVICES. OTHERWISE NO USE BY GIVING FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO TRAVEL AND TOURISM. FURTHER, ITS A LAST SECTOR THAN THE IMMEDIATE NECESSITY. IF YOU OFFER FREE 5 LAKH VISAS, IT IS NOT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO MONEY TO PAY FOR VISA FEE, IT S BECAUSE OF PANDEMIC STILLL EXISTS AND CONTINUING AND IMMEDIATE NECESSITY IS ARE FOOD, UTILITIES, HOUSE RENT, SCHOOL FEE, TO GET MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR THEIR ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION. DONT CREATE FAKE PROGRAMMES OR SCHEMES LIKE 15 LAKHS BLACKMONEY BACK TO 140 CRORES ACCOUNT, OR LAST YEARS 20 LAKHS CRORES PACKAGE WHAT HAPPENS TO THAT, ONLY CORPORATES GOT THAT MONEY AND PUMPED TO THE STOCK MARKETS, NO ONDUSTRIES SURVIVED AND STILL IT IS CONTINUED JOB INDUSTRY , NO JOBS, AND IN ADDITION INFLATION. MIDDLE CLASS PEOPLE ONLY SUFFER FEW CORPORATES ONLY SURVIVE PERSONALLY AND THEY ARE THE GREAT PEOPLE OF ASIAS NUMBER ONE TWO AND THREE LIKE, ONLY GOD SAVE AND NOT INDIAN DEMOCRACY

    @ Vicky Chopra, Mangalore/New Delhi, Exactly my point. You did agree that the crude oil prices were so high during the UPA tenure and UPA had to resort to oil bonds and not to burden the common man. So the million dollar question to you is why is BJP looting people when the crude prices are half of what it was during UPA? Now it is clear that NDA has not repaid anything on the bonds forefront. So where is the money looted in the form of taxes in petrol going? Please don't try to that it is being spent to feed the poor. Poor existed even during UPA time. Infra and other projects existed even during the UPA time. Hathi ke daant dikhaane ke kuch aur hai aur kaatne ke kuch aur hai. BJ party is just doing day light robbery.

    ‘Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme --ECGLS ---- Unfortunately very few can borrow because bank conditions are too complicated-- -- ALSO BANKS are first adjusting ( recovering ) like loan sharks any facility given to borrower by GOVT --- BASIC IS THIS IS A DEMAND SIDE PROBLEM - NOT SUPPLY SIDE -- Because No Demand --- means most factories are going bankrupt or near -- because of lack of orders - even many other service industries - possibly like interior decorators -- TOURISM etc - IT IS BASIC -- only if there is demand creation - will we ' ve revival - Country In a ICU situation - what is needed today FOR ICU - is unfortunately not worked out - all plans are long term --- THE USA / many countries has helped with stimulus checks - that means cash with families -IMMEDIATE-

    Loans don't help in a struggling economy. Micro-businesses are hardly making ends meet because there are NO CUSTOMERS! What will they with a loan? Loans do not attract new customers. Smarter nations in the developed world have boosted demand. The present Central Government has no clue how to revive the economy. Wrong people.

    Our economy collapsed during MMS when our reserve collapsed and available only for ten days. Immediately government devalued rupee much on that time to sustain the same. Made wrong move. Even introduced Oil Bonds as not able to pay the bill for import of crude oil. Present govt paid all. Haathi ke daath deekhane ke aur..aandhar ki baat aur.

    @ Vicky Chopra, Mangalore/New Delhi Fact Check for the Dumb and Ignorant : The UPA government issued bonds valued at Rs 1.44 lakh crore between 2005 and 2010. However, only two bonds worth Rs 1,750 crore each matured during the tenure of the NDA government. This implies that the government has only repaid Rs 3,500 crore. The next payment will be due in October 2021. No new bonds were issued hence. Oil bonds were issued by the UPA government when fuel prices were regulated. By doing so, the government shielded customers and domestic businesses from the vagaries of the global market for crude oil. People like you should first know what is oil bonds before commenting by following the whatsapp university. Your lies stand exposed.

    Oil bonds are government securities issued to Oil Marketing Companies. Between 2005 to 2010 Oil bond worth Rs.1.4 lakh crores are issued by UPS government to keep petrol and diesel prices steady in market. Its long for six to ten years. Wants to pay latter to Oil Marketing Companies which now fall into the part of NDA government. People enjoyed petrol and diesel prices inspite of international price of crude oil was high during UPA regime. Its same like Debit and Credit card...buy whatever you like...latter on to pay. For that reason NDA govt increasing petrol and diesel prices occasionally.
