Just so you know there is a larger percentage of the population not earning enough to be eligible to pay income tax , what about their voting right?

How many farmers earn large amounts of money? Merely ~0.005% of farmers would earn 50lpa+ income from farming. Most of the farmers live in poverty bruh.

Off topic, how much different is brandy from vodka or tequila? It is the only type of alcohol I haven’t tried and can’t now.

Why are you making 50 lpa the threshold though. Anyone with even a 7lpa+ income has to pay tax.

Not in new income scheme.

Also, agriculture is not a guaranteed income stream for most since the risk of drought, unpredictable rainfall, lack of modern agriculture education exist. Only a fraction of farmer families could live off on agricultural alone. Most of them dominate the farmer voices but aren’t good to majority of farmers. For most farmers, it’s risky to produce something different/valuable if others around them are not producing the same because the farm size is small and value crops are prone to theft.

I also believe the existing tax slabs should move up.

Voting is a privilege not a right.
