TPA.13 — Administrative Reengineering— Dawn of A New Era

  TPA.13 — Administrative Reengineering— Dawn of A New Era TPA.13.1 — The Objective Administrative Reengineering is not the computerisation of the existing Government system. It is the redesign of the administrative system itself so that Government becomes: Simpler, smaller, professional, accountable, responsive and directly connected with the population it serves. The fundamental principle is: Government governs and sets standards → professional organisations execute → elected representatives represent and supervise → citizens receive measurable outcomes. TPA.13.2 — Reorganising Government Around the Population The proposed administrative structure will be organised around the PIN Code as the basic geographical reference. The objective is to align: Population → Community → Services → Infrastructure → Police → Judiciary → Administration rather than continuing to operate through historically evolved and overlapping administrative boundaries. The proposed basic structure is: Family /...

TPA.12 — FlexiHomes — The Foundation of Life-as-a-Service

  TPA.12 — FlexiHomes — The Foundation of Life-as-a-Service A home is a place to live — not necessarily an asset that one must own. TPA.12.1 — You Do Not Have to Own a House to Have a Home The conventional concept of housing assumes that a person must buy a house in order to have a secure place to live. FlexiHomes proposes a fundamentally different idea: people should be able to live in a comfortable, well-designed home without locking decades of their earnings into property or a mortgage. FlexiHomes therefore transforms housing from an ownership burden into a flexible life service. TPA.12.2 — FlexiHomes — The Housing Platform of Life-as-a-Service Life-as-a-Service (LaaS) is a concept in which essential requirements of everyday life are brought together within an integrated community. It connects: HOUSING + FOOD + HEALTHCARE + EDUCATION + TRANSPORT + EVERYDAY SERVICES FlexiHomes provides the housing platform around which these services can be organised. TPA.12.3 — Flexible Housing ...

TPA.11 — Community Centre — The Local Service Interface

TPA.11 — Community Centre — The Local Service Interface Bringing Quality Services Closer to Home TPA.11.1 — Purpose The Community Centre is a local coordination and service centre for a maximum of 500 families living in an existing residential area. It is designed to make a wide range of household, personal and community services available locally. It is not another layer of Government administration. Its purpose is to make everyday life simpler, more efficient and better connected by bringing required services closer to the people. TPA.11.2 — Maximum 500 Families Each Community Centre will serve: One Community Unit — Maximum 500 Families The size is deliberately limited so that the Centre remains genuinely local and personal. It should know the character and requirements of its community rather than becoming a large impersonal call-centre operation. TPA.11.3 — Services Based on Actual Local Requirements The Centre will not begin with a rigid list of services imposed from above. Servic...

TPA.10 — Land & Property — A New Socio-Economic Architecture

  TPA.10 — Land & Property — A New Socio-Economic Architecture Land for productive use. TPA.10.1 — Land as a National Resource Land is one of India's most limited and valuable national resources. It cannot be created. Every piece of land used for one purpose is unavailable for another. The proposed system therefore treats land not primarily as a commodity for speculation, but as a national resource to be used for the maximum productive and social benefit. TPA.10.2 — Existing Ownership Shall Be Protected Existing lawful land and property ownership shall remain protected. There shall be no compulsory acquisition of privately owned land merely for the purpose of implementing the proposed new land system. Existing owners shall continue to own, use and enjoy their property. Inheritance shall also continue. The transition shall therefore respect the rights of existing owners. TPA.10.3 — Government as the Sole Future Purchaser When an existing owner voluntarily decides to sell land or...

TPA.9 — A New Vision of Money — Banking & Finance

  TPA.9 — A New Vision of Money — Banking & Finance Money serves the economy. TPA.9.1 — A Fundamental Change in Financial Architecture The proposed system does not seek to make the existing financial system more complicated. It seeks to simplify it fundamentally. The citizen should have access to safe savings, liquidity and productive investment without having to navigate a large variety of financial products and intermediaries. The basic principle is: SIMPLE FINANCE — TRANSPARENT FINANCE — PRODUCTIVE FINANCE TPA.9.2 — Two Distinct Functions of Banking The banking system will be divided into two clearly defined functions. Deposit Banks Ordinary banks will primarily perform: Deposit gathering Custody of money Payments Transfers Settlement They will not undertake conventional productive lending across unrelated sectors. Sector Financing Banks Productive finance will be provided through sector-specific financing banks or institutions possessing genuine technical knowledge of the i...

TPA.8 — Modern Manufacturing & Knowledge-Based Technologies

  TPA.8 — Modern Manufacturing & Knowledge-Based Technologies Technology for human progress TPA.8.1 — Technology as an Enabler of Modern Manufacturing India's manufacturing system shall be re-engineered from first principles to achieve maximum productivity, quality, resource efficiency and global competitiveness. Modern technology shall not be adopted merely because it is available. The manufacturing process shall first be redesigned to eliminate unnecessary operations, material movement, waiting time, inventory, duplication and avoidable human intervention. Automation, robotics, advanced machinery, digital manufacturing, high-speed computing and Artificial Intelligence shall then be applied wherever they provide a demonstrable improvement in the redesigned process. BPR FIRST → APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGY SECOND → CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT. TPA.8.2 — Classification of the Three Industrial Subdivisions The national manufacturing sector shall be broadly structured into three functional i...

TPA.7 — THE EXPENDITURE TAX SYSTEM

  TPA.7 — THE EXPENDITURE TAX SYSTEM TPA.7.1 — THE BASIC CONCEPT The proposed Expenditure Tax represents a fundamentally different approach to taxation. The tax is not imposed on the income earned by a person or company, nor repeatedly on goods and services as they move through the production and distribution chain. Tax the final expenditure of the consumer, rather than taxing the economic activity that creates the product or service. Income Tax and Corporate Tax would therefore no longer form the basis of the taxation system. Revenue would be generated principally through Expenditure Tax at the point of final consumption. TPA.7.2 — NO TAX ON THE PRODUCTION CHAIN Raw Material → Intermediate Product → Component → Manufacturing → Distribution → Final Consumer The goods and services exchanged between businesses are part of the process of producing the final product or service. Therefore: No Expenditure Tax on intermediate transactions. This prevents taxation from becoming embedded rep...
