    1.This is like land-pooling, as done at Amravati. Here farmers are made the stakeholders in the development and not just the commercial relations.
    2.Land sold in market post development will earn good money to finance such investment intensive project.
    3. In all, it’s a win-win proposition for farmers, govt. and entrepreneurs.

    Hmm, I agree with you :-). And am happy that you are in constant touch with happenings. GST – IGST and Stamp duty . Keep it up buddy

  17. 1.This works as an incentive as land is considered sacred with sentiments attached,which makes acquiring land complex.This can curb the rehabilitation procedure.Also the reurned land could be used for renting or leasing purpose by the owner .This can be further complemented with Skill India which could make owner use the land innovatively.
    2.a)This model can work in both PPP and wholly public model. In case of PPP,it will the private player that will purchase the land,and later could compensate it by charging user fees etc.
    2 b)The govt isn’t selling the complete land acquired,this model reduces fiscal burden and encourages private participation.
    Ethics and development has been continuous debate,weighting development. This model however minimises various ills of land acquisition by returning 40 percent of land.

    bhai apna ek doubt hai
    in livemint article which is about logistical park development, it has been written-
    Of the land acquired for the project, 40% will be developed and returned to the land owner. While 20% of the land will be sold to finance the project, the profit from the rest 40% of the land will go to National Highway Authority of India.

    Doubts-1. Why is the land returned to the owner after devlopment. . I mean for example if the owner is a farmer what will he do of the land , even if it is returned to him after devlopment
    2. 20 % of the land will be sold to whom to finance the project.And why is government acquiring the land if it has to sell it again. Is it ethical for government to buy land and then again sell it.

    bhai apan toh yahi bolega ki agar tum regularly GST keih articles follow karega toh yeih question easy hai
    I used GST logic and my own knowledge and some Laxmikant memory
    Inter state -IGST , will be collected by centre
    Stamp duty- opposed by states in inclusion in GST , will lead to fall in revenue
    Cess- Goes directly to centre, as will be in case of GST also, as Swachh bharat cess and Krishi kalyan Cess will continue after GST implementation.Also ForumIAS keih open test meih question bhi toh aaya tha Cess par.

    Apka logic bhi sahi hai. But hum engineers har jagah logic dundte hai. UPSC meih thoda JEE chemistry keih jaisa rattafiaction bhi dalna hoga.

    So – Battries not included. Consumers may use their discretion.

    Regarding 4th question, I want to share my approach to the question.

    Taxes that are levied by the Centre but Collected and Appropriated by the States includes:-

    Stamp duties on bills of exchange
    Taxes on the consignment of goods in the course of inter-state trade or commerce
    Any cess levied for specific purposes.

    Inter-state trade = there are two or more states and hence, it will be highly unprobable that taxes will be collected by states, though taxes may be appropriated by states. Collection has to be done by Centre.
    After consulting with book, it is levied and collected by centre, but appropriated by states.

    Cess is levied for specific purposes – Like Krishi Kalyan Cess and Green Environment cess – as these cess have national impact – Most probably it will not be collected and appropriated by states. Though it forms part of Revenue divisible between centre and state as prescribed by the President on recommendations of Finance Commission.

    Stamp duties have more localised impacts – hence they can be collected by states.

    This was just my guess work and approach – do not know exactly the SELECTION of taxes which will be collected by centre and those which will be collected by states. If anyone knows the exact reason behind it, PLEASE SHARE !!!

    The Constitution also makes a provision for the entrustment of the executive functions of the Centre to
    a state without the consent of that state. But, in this case, the delegation is by the Parliament and not by
    the president.

    Does it require special majority of Parliament, or simple majority just like that needed in passing ordinary laws ?

    Was genuinely expecting 5/5 and was sure of all my answers.
    Final result: 1/5.

    I’m increasingly getting a feeling that all my endless hours of answer writing are not going to matter, kabhi check karwaane ka chance hi nahi milega.

    Ques 3 is making no sense and explanation is nothing connected with question
    Which of the following statements is/are not correct:-

    a. Though appointed by the chairmen of Union Public service Commission, can be removed only by the President
    b. Though appointed by the governor of the state, can be removed only by the President
    c. Though appointed by the governor of the state, can be removed only by the Consent of council of ministers of that state
    d. are appointed and can also be removed by the governor of the state.
    Correct
    Explanation:-

    The Centre cannot delegate its legislative powers to the states and a single state cannot request the Parliament to make a law on a state subject.

    The Constitution also makes a provision for the entrustment of the executive functions of the Centre to
    a state without the consent of that state. But, in this case, the delegation is by the Parliament and not by
    the president.
