It's very true. While the Colas like Pepsi and Coke are manufactured for just 90P, they are sold for Rs 10 or more, precisely because the company concerned wants to recover the advertising revenue, which may perhaps include the money they pay for cricketers and celebs for carrying their logo on their kit or on their costume.

Now, if the common man or the government has to pay little for the benefit of the less fortunate ones, it does not really matter much to the government. In private sector, companies spend crores of rupees on publicity and so-called staff welfare! As the there is something which is universally accepted, that is, corporate social responsibilities ( C S R). and, if they will not come forward to make the society beautiful, who will to it! And, you would definitely agree to it that, we as disabled persons, have to spend alot, have to tax on our limited resources much more than the non-disabled persons. If the government can continued to extend concessions, reservations and other facilities to the SC and ST and OBC categories, the blind people really deserve government' proper estimation of the situation. thanks. is Dr. Rakesh Jain Mobile (Reliance): 09336787900 Mobile (BSNL): 09415787900 Residence: 05224001112 and 05222732345 Skype ID: dr.rjain ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pranav Lal" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, August 12, 2006 5:42 AM Subject: Re: [AI] Who should pay for concessions? > Kiran, > > My concern with consessions is that if the government pays for them then > this will translate into higher taxes.
