Citizens pay:
-
Income tax
-
GST
-
Road tax
-
Property tax
-
Toll charges
But:
-
They don’t know where exactly money is spent.
-
Budget documents are complex.
-
Project-level transparency is limited.
-
Citizens cannot easily verify ground execution.
This creates:
-
Trust deficit

-
Physical verification tools for citizens
