Senior citizens taken for royal ride by high service tax on everything specially MEDICAL CARE POLCIES resulting into high OUTGO whereas income has shrunk by lower returns on investments like FDs, PPF ETC. FROM 9.5% DOWN TO AVG. 8.2%. Senior citizen health care not on this Government's agenda.

Extremely poor performance.
1.) Salary class, senior citizens & tax paying general public has been badly treated & hugely burdened with taxes.
2.) Don't understand Govt. not taking responsibility for medical care of senior citizens, but much worse trying earn by imposing 18% GST on MEDICARE policy premiums that senior citizens have to take. What a shame????
3.) BJP Govt. increases Member of Parliament compensation by linking it to inflation, but sin have poor salaried people done that Govt. doesn't increase the minimum pension of Rs. 2,000/-? Doesn't inflation hit them??
4.) Retired senior citizens depended on earnings from interest on Fixed Deposits. Earnings have eroded due to reduced interest rates. But no compensation from BJP Govt.

Was Govt. serious about unearthing black-money when they brought-in DEMONETISATION????? Absolutely NOT. I have seen & known many people having huge black cash converting into NEW ones & till date nothing has happened. Two & Half years & Govt. has FAILED to prosecute even ONE single person on this count. Its easy to assume therefore, that there was no black money. Then why DEMONETISATION.
Secondly. Modi shouts from roof-tops of 'AYUSHMAN BHARAT', but levies GST on MEDICLAIM policies, whereas Govt. should take care of middle class senior citizens who have been Income Tax payers, by providing FREE medical care.
