SOPE says that passing of GST bill is major step towards improving the indirect
taxation system. In spite of the benefit being brought about by this reform
humongous amount of parliament time was wasted as political consensus could
not be reached between the ruling party and the opposition party. This problem
was evident when multiple parliament session was adjourned and no consensus
was reached. The statement by the President of India to the representative of the
people of India (MPs) to maintain decorum and abide by their respective duty to
serve the nation and their people by reaching the consensus fell on deaf ears.
The reason evident for this turmoil was to gain political mileage at the expense
of common man. The parliament is the top most decision making body that
supplements the democracy of India. It is the sole body that has the authority to
manage the tax collection and divert the capital into different areas for the
betterment of the society at large. Our subject was adept at increasing this
collection so that the redistribution of wealth can affect the economic and social
well-being of a larger section of the society.
Our SOPE is observational as it is the very back bone of the Indian economy. The
search is objective because the amount of time wasted could have been utilised
for identification and discussion of other important social problem and issue at
large. Scholar have opined against the unethical behaviour of the MPs in the
different print and paper Medias. The very basis of the constructive and positive
criticism in the form of the leader of the opposition was challenged. The diversity
of India which was brought by the Rajya Sabha was blamed and crippled the
parliament.
The basic legal issues involved are the ratification of the GST bill by the sates
and the constitutional amendment required for the implementation of the GST
bill. The Ethical question that comes to mind is whether the amount of precious
time spent by the ruling party towards passing of the bill is worthwhile.
Especially considering the circumstances that several other important bill have
been withheld and the productivity of the parliament was affected by the GST
impasse. When the opportunity cost of this outcome is compared the impact of
this significant bill is diluted. The primary reason for this dilution is that the April
2017 dead line will be missed and several important downstream issues which in
economic terms would have increased the per capita income have remained
unaddressed. This is morally wrong as people who have worked hard towards
achieving the desired result by entrusting their vote to represent them have
failed. Failure by MPs to perform their right and duties have delayed the trickle
down economic benefits. These are considered legal as the subject conforms to
the laws, ordinances and standards of India. They are ethical because these deal
with human values and human judgement. The question of morality applies to
the effects on the application of these human values and judgement. The
implications include:
AOL has enabled us to see he problem from the process point of view. It
enabled us to break the problem into small subpart. Analysing and describing
each part has stimulated group communication. The analysis sensitized us about
the stake holders responsibility. Viewing the case problem from different angles
widen our perspective thereby forcing us to select the optimum solution. It
enhanced our ability to apply conceptual framework while dealing other
problems.
