    "content": "Thank you very much. I like the words being used by the Chairman of that Committee, that we are merely introducing a charging clause. Charging tax is not a small issue. So, he cannot use the word “merely” in a charging clause. He must explain to us the basis. New Clause 5A which we want to be part of the Act which we passed on 1st February, this year, mandates banks to charge some fees. I know that the banks started charging the fees from 1st July, this year and not February. What is the effect? Will we ask banks to remit money that they did not collect? What is the impact of backdating this? That is the problem that I have. I think the best practice would be to charge from the day you start charging. You do not charge, take it back and say that we will start charging February this year."
