OP's Perspective
Universal Basic Income is one of several ideas floating around for dealing with the income gap.
What is the Universal Basic Income (UBI)? In general, UBI is a type of cash transfer that is:
- Universal: every citizen receives the transfer regardless of employment status or income.
- Unconditional: recipients have no restrictions on how they can spend the cash.
- Basic: the amount will cover “basic needs” and will constitute a “living wage.”
- Long-Term: the cash transfers will last for the long term, e.g. entirety of the receipt’s life.

Let's debate whether UBI is feasible in Indian context or not.
