Being middle class in India feels like a trap.
Salary gets credited to your bank account.
⬇️
TDS has already been deducted, so you receive your salary after income tax.
⬇️
You decide to save and invest your hard-earned money in stocks, mutual funds or FDs.
⬇️
Your investment grows and you earn a profit.
⬇️
You pay tax on those gains as well (depending on the type of investment).
⬇️
Now you decide to buy a TV, phone, laptop or any other product.
⬇️
You pay GST on that purchase.
⬇️
You go out for lunch or dinner with your family.
⬇️
The restaurant bill includes GST too.
⬇️
From earning, to investing, to spending...
at almost every stage, there's some form of tax involved.
I'm not saying taxes shouldn't exist , they're essential for running a country. But as a salaried middle class person, it can sometimes feel like you're paying taxes at almost every step of your financial journey.
₹30 Lakh Salary → ₹7.5 Lakh Income Tax
₹10 Lakh Long Term Capital Gain → ₹1,09,375 Tax (after ₹1.25 Lakh exemption)
₹40 Crore Agriculture Revenue → ₹0 Tax?
₹7,000 Crore Political Party Revenue → ₹0 Tax?
₹12,000 Crore IPL Revenue → ₹0 Tax?
Why does the salaried middle class keep paying more? 🤔
Why are different rules applied to different income sources?
Who is actually carrying India's tax burden?
Is this really a fair tax system? 🇮🇳
@databricksdaily The system.billing.usage table is a game changer for attribution. Taking it a step further: you can set up automated alerts on that table to catch those 'runaway' cross-joins before they blow the monthly budget.
There should be a provision where Govt returns a portion of income tax paid by an employee if he or she gets laid off.
You taxed them when they were earning. Now help them in their tough times.
“Companies need to decide if a foreign worker is valuable enough to pay $100,000 per year to the US government. If not, that worker will have to head home,” says US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on new H1B visa restrictions
In India, if a tax-paying employee gets laid off after contributing to the system for years, the government must ensure the following:
1. Unemployment allowance for at least 6 months
2. Loan moratorium for 6 months
3. Free access to healthcare facilities funded by Govt.
4. Protection of credit score during unemployment
5. Mental health & career counseling support
If you can collect taxes without fail, you better start protecting those who pay them. Enough of this one-sided exploitation.🙏

Cruz: I don’t have the scripture…
Tucker: So you’re quoting a Bible phrase—you don’t know where in the Bible it is but that’s your theology?

@Ubunta What alternative do you think have work better then apache spark for large amount of data, any other language you used which have perform better ?
Out of 5 semiconductor companies, one was given to Assam. I welcome it. Assam also needs to grow. But the remaining 4 went to Gujarat. The argument being put forward by BJP supporters is that Gujarat already has an ecosystem to establish semiconductor industry. So, what ecosystem Assam has?
So the truth is if Modi wants to give, he can give. Why he gave 80% of semiconductor companies to one state, Gujarat? Who was behind semiconductor investments originally intended for Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra, to move to Gujarat?
If it can be allocated to Assam, why not to Andhra Pradesh or Bihar or Madhya Pradesh? These states very badly need industries and growth. Why this government is Gujarat centric?
Sharjeel Imam and Umar Khalid were slap with UAPA, Even if FIR is lodge it would be under bailable section, such is the journey we have came too if you stand with ruling party...
This is pure hate speech by repeat offender BJP MLA Nitesh Rane. No ifs or buts. Action must be taken against him. Not the first time he has done this.
Reporter: Evidence at Gaza mass graves show torture and signs of being buried alive, Palestinians called for an independent investigation, what’s wrong with that?
Patel: We’re asking Israel
Reporter: You’re asking the accused to investigate itself?
Patel: We’re asking Israel
#MicrosoftFabric With #onelake architect it seems like it would have problem with scaling once it is exposed to big size of data, because you are storing and processing data from same location , which is a strict no no when dealing with scaling problem.
