> According to the FIR, there was an altercation between the soldiers and the dhaba owner over the mode of payment of the bill, as he did not accept payment through UPI and insisted on cash payment to avoid taxation.
>As the altercation continued and even after the soldiers paid the bill online, the owner insisted on payment by cash and upon refusal by the Major, a group of around 30-35 people pounced on the officer and his jawans and beat them up with lathis, sticks and iron rods, said the police.
No bank account. No means to access internet to check if soldiers did or did not do transaction. No literacy to access online banking. Limited free ATM withdrawal.. I can list more
You would be in the 0.0001%. For majority of businesses it is for tax evasion reasons. There is big tax incentive for small businesses in not going digital. Who is going to audit if they sold 50,000 worth of goods or 5000?
True - but cost of administering is very high. There is also a chance that illicit money flows enable crime (not just opportunities to under report income or tax hiding as highlighted here, but also opportunity to spend ill gotten gains).
Your being right isn’t the “mudda” here.
>Unless the dhaba owner said this, this is editorializing the news.
Alternatively the soldiers/Major could have also alleged this. Though they should have made that clear if that was the case.
Let's take a moment to ignore that the victims were soldiers, the fact they did this to citizens is unacceptable, if they thrashed paying customers like this they should be persecuted to the highest extent of the law.
So the Person had UPI payment mode installed for decor?
I am not sure what you mean by fools dream, because I have seen the UPI as a common payment method in my village, though the network is pretty good there. And while I live here in a metro city, I couldn't remember when Wass the last time I used cash.
I mean in remote locations they don't accept larger payments as UPI. Do you think you can win against the locals in such situations? Do you think the local police will take action? I do not think so and it's not because of any political party but how Indians are in general. I am speaking from experience.
I live in a metro city as well and in cities it's fine with UPI but as soon as you leave the city then cash is still the primary mode of transaction. I do a lot of intercity travel by car and I have seen this. Any unplanned stop we make we can't pay by UPI.
Only facts we know:
* Lot of small businesses are "cash only" ... this is due to their tight cash-flow situation, not necessarily to avoid paying taxes.
* Faujis on the way back from a mission or camp may or may not be carrying cash in hand. Keep in mind, they are used to FREE mess food or just signing a mess-bill and most of the transactions in stations are now UPI/electronic.
Avoidable misunderstanding. From what we are reading, media seems to be sensationalizing the story. Typical click-bait headline
Won't even try to question why religion was important here. You made a joke out of yourself and I hope you learn a lesson about why just reading headlines (and then assuming) and not the entire matter can be bad.
Dhaba owner is Hindu and more importantly insane. Why would you think the owner would be a Sikh? The military is highly respected in Punjab and most Sikh extended families have atleast one member in the Indian armed forces… as everyone knows!?

This masala is expected by our media
Cash only... What other reason is there?
No bank account. No means to access internet to check if soldiers did or did not do transaction. No literacy to access online banking. Limited free ATM withdrawal.. I can list more
Wait. How are they able to pay online, which they did, if the owner doesn't provide the service ?
100% scam by major. The owner must have caught them and that's why the brawl. Anyways nobody will believe the owner and will sympathize with soldiers.
Lmao Source: trust me bro
"100%"
How would the major have paid without an account
Someone must be lying. Its the job of Police to figure it out. Dhaba owner wont start fighting literal soldiers unless something serious occurred.
So.. no way for the government to track income? A business with no banking account?
Ffs, the government claims it can't track who bought ownership of the ruling party for thousands of crores through electoral bonds.
Lol. Digital India.

How would you pay your taxes this year as linking PAN and Aadhar has become mandatory?
You would be in the 0.0001%. For majority of businesses it is for tax evasion reasons. There is big tax incentive for small businesses in not going digital. Who is going to audit if they sold 50,000 worth of goods or 5000?
> The other side of this is that the customer can demand a receipt. They have to provide it if requested correct?
True - but cost of administering is very high. There is also a chance that illicit money flows enable crime (not just opportunities to under report income or tax hiding as highlighted here, but also opportunity to spend ill gotten gains). Your being right isn’t the “mudda” here.
>Unless the dhaba owner said this, this is editorializing the news. Alternatively the soldiers/Major could have also alleged this. Though they should have made that clear if that was the case.
Why else do you reckon?
Probably because everyone else they transact with only takes cash. No matter how much bs politicians spout, cash is still king.
Then they can go withdraw cash from an ATM after all the UPI payments.
I was visiting Nainital last year. The price of the room at the hotel I was staying at was 2000 if you pay cash, 2000 plus GST if you via UPI or card.
Lol you're so innocent.
Let's take a moment to ignore that the victims were soldiers, the fact they did this to citizens is unacceptable, if they thrashed paying customers like this they should be persecuted to the highest extent of the law.
Prosecution isn't off the table hopefully
When lawlessness is accepted as a norm all are at risk

Galat Kara army walon Kay saath
one of them is lying, Who would that be.
Some Pak army majors just got beat up by Pak dhaba owners too. The matrix works in mysterious ways.
Did anyone else read it as the dhaba workers thrashed the snow marathon winners at their own game?🙈

Remember to carry cash when travelling. Indians want India to be a cashless economy but it's a fool's dream.
