New Income Tax Rule for Whatsapp and Instagram: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said in the Lok Sabha on 25 March that new provisions are being brought under the new Income Tax Bill. A rule is being considered for further investigation under the Income Tax Act to access data from apps like WhatsApp, Instagram and Google. The Finance Minister says that this will make it possible to investigate illegal transactions, black money and cryptocurrency. According to him, a cryptocurrency of Rs 200 crore has been seized recently. However, in a country where half of the GDP is in the hands of only 10% of the people, how much black money and how much cryptocurrency will be given to the average person. The unilateral thinking of the government can be used to blackmail common people, which can also cause harassment.
The chat can be misinterpreted and may cause harassment.
If this bill is passed, the government will be able to read every user’s encrypted messages on WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and other social media platforms. Apart from this, users will also be able to know where they are going through Google Maps. For this, every person’s data has to be monitored. Therefore, when a person finds out that his data is being monitored, an atmosphere of fear and anxiety arises within him. Some people laugh or joke in the group, which may cause misinterpretation of matters related to politics or two countries. In this way, an innocent joke can also be misinterpreted and an inquiry can be initiated against a person, which can lead to harassment.
The possibility of blackmail may increase.
In a country like India, no one can guarantee that a person or department will work with full honesty. Recently, the CBI had registered a case against the former branch manager of State Bank of India in Assam, which revealed that the person was taking money to approve the loan. A large quantity of money was recovered in the search of a judge of a judge of the Delhi High Court, which has exposed the corruption case in the judiciary. There have also been cases of infiltration in the Power Grid Corporation of India. The senior manager is accused of taking Rs 2.5 lakh to benefit a private company. It is clear from all these things that people who do wrong things are present in any department.
If this law has passed and user data is monitored, then the possibility of blackmailing anyone may increase. If someone has an extramarital affair, or private photos or videos shared, they can be blackmailed. Therefore, any person can be forced to live in an atmosphere of constant stress and fear.
Can also affect the common person
The most cheating people in the country never use WhatsApp and Google Maps. Many people are working for him for his scam. However, the rules implemented by the government may have more impact on small taxpayers. These rules also do not apply to people who do big scams. While small and ordinary people continuously work under the shadow of fear. Now they can stop doing legal work for fear of inquiry. They can choose to do a lot of work illegally, so that they do not come in the eyes of these people. Therefore, this rule is more likely to have negative effects on the common person.
End of freedom of expression
If this rule is passed, it can eliminate the freedom of expression of the person. Nowadays, many WhatsApp groups are full of jokes about any person, whether they are celebrities, cricketers, politicians or businessmen. However, when this joke is monitored, the user’s words can be misinterpreted.
Bulldozers started from Uttar Pradesh have also been used in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Assam. Amidst all this, it is well known that ‘Dada’s bulldozer’ was also used in Gujarat. Therefore, the day is not far when bulldozers can be run on people’s homes on social media. Therefore, it is very important to stop this rule, otherwise questions will arise on freedom of expression.
Follow strict rules
If the government wants to pass this law, then it is very important to make some rules for this. Even though someone’s data is being monitored, he should stay away from his personal chat. They should not be accessed by personal photos and videos being sent by them. Rules should be made that allow access to data only in terms of money. However, despite this rule, it is very difficult to know how many people follow it. It is madness to think what will happen if we get the power of access to all data in that country where the leaders are seen watching porn in Parliament.
