I have heard that the government has faced huge losses due to Prasar Bharati and hence is planning to levy tax on the public by charging annual fee of Rs 400 for anyone who has color tv and Rs 200 for anyone having B/W TV. What do you all think about this? Is it really worth it? Is Govt right in doing this? They are also going to introduce tax for private channels. Please comment!

I saw this on TV. It was some program on Headlines Today. Now I heard that government hasn't planned anything of that kind as of now. Thanks for all your responses

Welcome to the world of tax and spend liberals my friend. Usually, if a service or product is heavily used by the public, it will be taxed. In the USA we are double and triple taxed on many items. Your only option is not to buy the products. If enough do that the company will go out of business and the government will no longer have a product to tax. Good luck.

Where form you have got this information? I think your
information is wrong. I think Prasar Bharati is making profit.

This is the penalty for not patronising Prasar Bharati -

I don't think it would be possible. There cannot be a checking mechanism for it.
The tax can be imposed on the product when it is bought but after that it would just not be posible.

if a company is in loss they will shut it down. if the goverment is in loss it is better to sell it to industrialist like ambanis or mittal.
