I get your point and things are nuanced depending on the situation.
But the amount of control this tracking can create is potentially evil. We have to be careful with this.
I'd rather work for less and keep control than doing this. But what this is going to generate is massive govt. control. Worse than before. Not telling about India specifics though.
But, India is so far behind, it may need a little bit of "evil" for a little while to clean up all the layers of intermediary corruption before getting better.
It's already awful to live there for a large part of the population, and they have so little, that the government really has no use tracking them: yes, they re starving, going to work for $5 a month, and sleeping... like, okay they knew that already, maybe having some sort of better grasp on the currency flow could help direct it better.
"Working for less" in India is not the same as in California, just yet.
At the end there is no replacement for responsible people. It is just a matter that with great power comes great responsibility.
I would not bet my safety on more govt. control. Of course my situation is different from many of those people.
At the same time, promoting long-term govt. and state dependence is, IMHO, the wrong choice. As a temporary situation it could be useful, but to promote autonomy when ppl get wealthier, not to make them depend on power.
