FIRST: Every litre of Ethanol, Govt India will lose Rs15-20 in Tax Collections since:

#UncommonSense
UK/US NRIs & Top 2% Indian Residents (30 Mn Income Earners > Rs6lac/per yr) praise #Medical#Facilities in India especially ability to Approach Specialists Directly
Driving though PUNE/MUM/BLR & reaching Hospital in time in a Medical Emergency is Impossible

THIS IS #BIG ! #Hawala 2.0 Will EXPLODE in India post JULY 1st. Just My opinion:
By IMPLEMENTING 20% Tax Collected On Source (#TCS) on Foreign Spend (Currency, FX cards, Credit Cards, Debit Cards, Transfers), it becomes Increasingly more Cost Effective to Transfer Via #Hawala
If you try and BUY #Foreign Currency in the Black, that spread that used to be 2-3%, will now become 10% possibly
Unused Balances of Loaded Forex Cards will Go at a Premium of 10-12%
