    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. By experience is that the common man, who is supposed to make contributions, especially after the scheme was opened to individual members, once he defaults, instead of paying this 500 per cent, he would rather stay without insurance and let the cover lapse. Once the policy lapses, they apply afresh. That is exactly what happens. As the previous Member has stated, a good number of the officers of the Fund will negotiate with a defaulter and will attempt to backdate the date of the payment and in the process they will receive some payment. I am not aware of any other contract that has a as high a penalty rate as this one. Even if you look criminal offences, you will not get 500 per cent fines. This is exorbitant. It is not based on any reasonable hypothesis, or analysis, and it should come down to the 25 per cent that has been proposed, which is reasonable. I support the Motion."
