I'm fed up with this slogan "In 2014 only 2.5L was tax free and now no tax on 12L" Let's break it with some calculation. Case A: Suppose you were earning 14L in 2014, Let's calculate how much tax you were paying after common exemption and deductions. Salary - 14L 80C - 1.5L Medical and transport - 25K Home loan interest or HRA - 2L 80D - 35K Total tax paid - around 1.3L Case B: Now just adjust old tax regime slabs, exemption, deductions to inflation and salary also adjusted to inflation in 2026. I'm taking only 6% average inflation, but you know actual inflation is higher, Rent, school, medical fees usually increase around 10%. Inflation adjusted Salary - 28L Inflation Adjusted 80C - 3L Inflation Medical and transport - 1L Inflation adjusted Home loan interest or HRA - 4L Inflation adjusted 80D - 70K Total taxable income around 20L and tax paid in inflation adjust old regime slab is ~ 2.5L Case C: Someone earning 28L in 2026 and paying under new tax regime with no exemption and deductions available. Total tax paid is ~4.1L In summary, on same salary in 2026 Tax paid in Case B which is inflation adjusted old tax regime is ~ 2.5L Tax paid in Case C which is new tax regime is ~4.1L So basically you're paying 50% more tax in new tax regime than you would have paid if Govt had given us no so called relief but just adjusted old regime tax slabs to inflation. This Govt is only good at marketing a bad product well and they're doing this marketing at our cost. Don't fall for it.

If the sentiment remains like this, Modi isn't fighting 2029 from Varanasi.

Economy doing good or bad is a cycle but the biggest problem with this Govt is that people and especially investors have lost trust in whatever this Govt say > They say GDP is growing at record rate but then also shift Viksit Bharat and everything else's target to 2047. > They say, we don't care about falling Rupees, but then also ban people from buy gold and overseas investment using Mutual fund. > They say Jobs are increasing but then also claim that you're giving free ration to 80crs people. > They say India is becoming a manufacturing hub but then manufacturing is still at same 15% in 2026 as it was in 2014. Govts will come and go but the trust on Govt shouldn't be broken. Be honest and tell the truth atleast. We may still trust you because we have no other option but FIIs have options and that's why they're leaving.

A power bank caught fire during charge at night, so now they'll switch off charging points between 11pm to 5am. You study 16hrs a day for many years to clear UPSC and become an Officer so that you can use 200% brain to come up with the best solution for an issue like this.

You want them to buy villas on Home loan? Or invest their "hard earned" money in Mutual fund? What Stupid expectations is that from our Sarkari Babus in an economy where people are losing jobs and stock market is giving no returns. Bro knows villas are only the real asset, honesty and Mutual funds are just piece of paper.

If your currency is struggling against Dollars what will you do? 1. You cut LTCG, STT so that FIIs come to invest in India, or atleast stop selling so that rupees get some strength. 2. You focus more on manufacturing and export oriented business and take make in India from slogan to reality. 3. Control domestic Inflation OR 1. You stop your people from buying Gold 2. You stop your people from investing in overseas market. 3. You stop Companies from buying dollars in open market. 4. You take desperate risky debt from NRI using FCNR deposit and put a burden on public. To do the second set of things you don't need any qualifications and use of brain but that also makes you eligible to hold important positions in Govt, Finance ministry and RBI.

So if you speak about low mileage due to E20, you ask policymakers to fix the problems in policy, you'll be labelled paid And if you stop making noise because they don't respond and you can't leave your job to hit streets, your silence will be questioned.

Once you start coding using AI, your mind can't even think of writing a loop by yourself. AI won't take our job because they work better than us, it will take our job because we will stop thinking and using our brain due to AI.

The story behind big layoffs like Microsoft, Oracle etc is that - All big companies are investing heavily on AI. For example in my company they're keeping a budget of $4000 per month per Engineer for AI models so that Engineers can use it and deliver work faster and with better quality. That's $48k per year spent on AI models and infra to support a single Engineer, if you convert it into INR, that's almost 45L Rupees per year, that means company is paying atleast 2 mid level Engineer's salary to AI models. Now whether the AI will be able to do work of 2 additional Engineers or not that time will tell but Companies can't keep paying to Engineers and AI both, so they're laying off massively. If AI delivers it will be great if they don't, the world won't be same again.

Vaibhav sooryavanshi was playing brilliantly but missed his fifty by 5 runs and suddenly there is one more problem got added in everyone's life apart from layoffs, Inflation, poor stock market return, E20 and CEC SIR problems.

And that is definitely not something to be proud of in a country where people are struggling to find work life balance, spend 3hrs in traffic, get no pay for overtime, losing lives due to work pressure. The slave mentality must go. Work is part of life, not life itself.

Govt should stop taxing severance pay and salary paid in notice period for layoff impacted people. This is morally, ethically, financially cruel to tax someone who paid you Income tax while being in job without getting anything in return and now after losing the job, instead of getting support from Govt, they get taxed again.

Microsoft is offering buyout to 60000 employees, that's like 1 out of every 4 employees will be jobless due to AI. The bigger problem is now job market will be filled with so many additional people searching for job in a market which already has very less jobs. Earlier US based employees used to be affected by layoffs but now it's happening in India also. More layoffs, more job seekers, less jobs, more competition, scary times to lose the job.

Rashmika mandanna posted multipage explanation about her and Vijay devarakonda relationship talks. If it was the case with Virat Kohli and Anushka, it would be Virat Kohli writing paragraphs saying sorry for registering an interaction on Koffee with Karan than Anushka.

Financially independence for men > liquid money 35x of yearly spends > Debt free own house > Health insurance and life insurance > Separate funds for children education and marriage Financially independence for women > Get a 40k job and claim I'm financially independent woman

Never explain about your relationship to anyone except your own spouse because once you start doing it, you've to keep doing it, there is no coming back.

Yeah return to India so that PM treats you like a beggar as if he donates upto 12L tax free income to you from his pocket and when you Complain that it's not for people above 12L income, he will tell that "Jo mila woh Hazam, aisa nahi chalta".

When they've to increase LTCG, you'll not hear any rumours, any leaks, you'll get it by surprise but when they have to cut, it will keep running in news for years and still may never actually cut. This is how you lose trust of people and market.

> Took FCNR deposit at high interest with fixed Exchange rate, creating burden for future. > Restricted Gold buying for Mutual funds > Stopped oil companies to buy dollars from open market Govt is doing all sorts of things to support rupee against Dollars but rupees keeps coming back to its lower values. The easiest thing to support Rupees in real is to remove LTCG and STT, so FII inflow comes naturally and that itself they're not doing. Is there anyone with little brain left in Govt?

AI is writing better code than human but human still needs to review the code written by AI. Human is now behaving like manager who technically knows nothing, still poke nose everywhere trying to correct everyone. No wonder AI is getting irritated and praying our job loss.
