The problem in India is not with personal expenses, it is with receipts (assets 
accumulated illegally). 

So that Ontario solution has no relevance to India.

Also the premier who is bringing in that legislation is trying to hoodwink the 
public. She is creating a ruckus about expenses of mere tens, hundreds or a few 
thousand dollars while her party's previous premier has cancelled a power 
generation contract which cancellation has cost taxpayers more than six or 
seven billion, just to mollify local constituents who were to vote in a 
by-election and who didn't want the power plant in their back yard. Didn't they 
know that before signing the contract?

Well, Ontario is taking the lead and hopefully this idea will spread to Goa, 
etc. 

The Toronto Star is reporting that the Premier of Ontario has announced 
legislation that will force Members of the Provincial Parliament to post copies 
of all their expenses online.

This is in order to promote accountability and transparency.
