Why I find FADAs ideas stupid? Well allow me to not explain it all over again.
1. https://www.team-bhp.com/news/fada-p...protection-act
2. https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/india...ing-price.html (FADA wants a fixed dealer margin of 7% of the car's selling price)
3. https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/motor...lerships.html\ (FADA expresses concern over mushrooming of Humpty Dumpty two-wheeler dealerships)
...just to name a few. And there are many more out there.
FADA even opposes to online sales of vehicle as well. It will even be happy to not let you buy original spares directly from the company outlet and only through them. If they really had it their way they would even ban servicing your can at an FNG.
FADA is a group of folks who have come together and wants to create an automobile cartel in this country, so that whenever anyone buys a car they get paid. PERIOD.
Again how you ask? Remember the last time you went to buy a car and your insurance quote was 2-4x of than the actual price. They just want to make sure they make it illegal for anyone to buy car insurance from a third party rather than the dealer.
Thats what FADAs aim is. Complete dominance and no mercy to any customer who wants to buy a car.
So let us not get carried away by what these nimwit's keep proposing. They are doing this just to grab eyeballs and showing that they are on the customers side.
As far as the proposal is concerned i.e. allowing individuals to claim depreciation on the sale of car, is ill though of because : If thats the case then why not allow individuals to claim depreciation on the following as well. - Air Conditioning
- Fridge
- TV
- Music System
- Furniture etc
FADA equivalent for LG and Samsung and other white goods manufactures would be very happy if that can be done, isnt it?
Why stop at this. Lets allow individuals to claim expenses on the following as well. - Petrol/diesel
- Groceries
- Restaurant Bills
- Vacations
- Student Fees
Now once all the depreciation and expenses are claimed the individual can pay tax on the rest of the money.
I can tell you there will be nothing left to tax.
Now, doesn't this all sound stupid? All consumption of goods by end customer is necessary to be taxed at some point. You cannot allow tax exemptions or depreciation at the end of the supply chain.
Hence FADAs proposal to allow depreciation claim individuals is a not meant to benefit the customer, but for the dealers to increase their sales hence their profit.
FADA just wants a red carpet for their business like its their birth right. Who do they think they are? Adani's and Ambani's ? Keep dreaming FADA.
