IMHO
Biggest achievements of #ModiSarkarKe7Saal we take for granted:

1 Self-attestation: In 1-stroke, no need to hunt for "Gazetted Officers" who will inspect an original document before imperially affixing a signature on a duplicate. Your word wasn't good enough
1/

2 Digilocker: Single tamper-proof repository of all your important documents. Excellent Govt service, use it if you don't

3 Fuel price deregulation: No need to wonder how much subsidy GoI will release, for which product, how it'll be financed, how will the finance be repaid?

4 C-forms: Part of GST rollout but needs an honourable mention as it was a nightmare for MSMEs. Issued on security paper (the same secure printing as a cheque leaf), no need for maintaining a register, keeping stock, indenting from the Dept & then politely chasing them for a few.

No need to send it to vendors, ensuring it is received, following up with suppliers who haven't given you their C-Form, then having an Inspector drop in to cross-check if you've done any C-Form fraud & then keeping him happy you haven't or making him a beneficiary in the "fraud"

5 Simplified HR compliances. Before a small firm hires an employee, they'd have to think if cumbersome compliances made it worth the hire. Even for employees, a single Provident Fund UAN means they can change jobs & port the PF account. Now, taken for granted

6 Tout-free Govt offices: Remember the Passport Office? They had an ecosystem of typists, brokers, agents, fixers who would pontificate on the rules, sell forms, know the mind & hearts of Babus within. Approaching a Govt office directly, by passing these brokers, was blasphemy.

Staff would say "Get a good broker who knows the rules & ensures your documents are proper". It was normal to have a dalal between you & Sarkar. It was called "proper channels", till 2014

Some dalals have relocated to Shambhu border, wherever it is
Rest have reskilled or retired

7 Scam-a-day: Gone are the days where every morning, headlines would scream about a new scam that "goes all the way, to the very top". We never realised that the term "corridors of power" confessed that power was no longer vested in the offices but in the stealthy, dark corridors

8 "Precious foreign exchange": Tickets, visas, hotels bookings looked easy compared to procuring foreign exchange. The interchange rates were lousy, the daily spending limits miserly & it was all done in the name of conserving "precious foreign exchange".

Today, we sit on a US$ 600B forex reserve & we're proud of it

This is what I can think of, right now, from the top of mind.

Please do add to the thread & let me know what little changes @narendramodi has made, big or small, in your life.
