Question

write a letter to prime minister to express our views on demonisation

Answer 1

Dear Prime Minister Narendra Modi sir,

Namaste,

My name is Prasad. I have a small industry in Balanagar Hyderabad. My industry turn over is about 2 lakhs per month. This means per year it is 24 lakhs. Honestly and truthfully with all the exemptions I should be paying about 3 lakhs Income Tax to Government. But I just pay 30,000. Why?

I was born in a middle class family and with hard work and studies I came up well. Initially, I did some job for a living but after saving every paisa I have grown to the level of having my own start up industry. About 1 lakh is enough to take care of my family's needs and other 1 lakh I invest (either in gold or shares or buying lands).

In the one lakh I spend for family, about 30000 is going indirectly in some form or the other to the government. From groceries to TV to mobile I am paying 20 to 30% of spending in tax only. If I enjoy a small party and spend Rs 3000 on drinks about 60% is going as tax to government.

Even for a liter of petrol I am having pumped about 30 rupees is going to government as tax. When I bought the car, in form of taxes alone I paid about Rs 1.5 lakhs. For a plot, I paid 1 lakh as registration fee. The colony I am residing does not even have a road of any standard and hence I paid Rs 50,000 as development fee.

After seeing the plight of patients in government hospitals and knowing well the looting nature of private hospitals, I took a health insurance policy for my family members and shamelessly even on that I am charged a service tax.

Like robbers every where I am taxed. Even in graveyards government is taxing people. But is what is this government doing to us in return?
