Why the government needs to practice first and then preach? #BusinessTitbits

A recent issue of the Financial Express carried a few interesting news items. In an address to the Bohra Muslim community, the PM preached or rather warned that business should be done within the rules and laws. Good advice, but looks to be one-sided for sure. Another news item on the same page said that even if someone who has inadvertently claimed a wrong GST credit, has on his own noted the error and has rectified it, he will yet be liable to pay penalty for putting up a wrong claim. Is it not evident already that the government should first practice and then preach? Mr. Akhilesh Bhargava, Business Editor of HW Business and Finance shares his insights on the matter.
