Actual Tillers Are The Only Real Farmers

What about money laundering done by Rich / Super Rich Farmers ? 

They do not pay any tax . 

Money laundering of  ftheir  other incomes as agricultural income.

 Income Tax exemptions are only for Actual Tillers ( Plough Weilders ).

 But , in states like Punjab , Rich landlords give their land on Lease ( Theka ) to the landless cultivators. 

These absentee landlords pocket the Theka money as Tax Free.

 Govt should take against those Revenue officials ( Patwaris ) who show absentee landlords as actual tillers in the Girdawaris.


Many NRI s who have not set foot on India for many many years are shown as Tillers . They take the benefit of Free Electricity / other freebies while negotiating Theka s.
