Ban “TIPS”

Elite urbanites in India blindly follow status-culture of British legacy by paying ?tips (Bakhshish)? everywhere which is nothing but a bribed gift for a purpose for being treated well. Interestingly heavy amount of ?tips? is received by highly paid employees in five-starred hotels and restaurants. Even credit-card slips have special space to write ?tip? amount. Union government should seriously consider retiring-eve advice from former President APJ Abdul Kalam on gifts. Quoting from Hindu code in ?Manusmriti?, Dr Kalam rightly analyzed that gift coming with a purpose cause persons losing their personality greatly. Government should impose a ban on paying or receiving ?tips? which many-a-times induce bribes by getting added facilities/services/goods free-of-cost. It is sure that status-conscious people will also gladly accept ban on ?tips? if implemented by government-order. Even Mumbai High Court has rightly ordered Bakhshish (Tip) to be taken expense for Income Tax purposes.

?Tip? is considered highly objectionable by every citizen in world?s top-ranking countries in honesty-index.
