Fed up with taxes

Nothing against anyone, neither the current government nor the previous government.

First I have to give tax on my salary, then the indirect tax on every single thing I buy.

Bought a term insurance, for every premium I pay there's a 18% tax, same for health insurance.

Recently started NPS, same is being taxed 18% for every contribution. Was planning doing a professional course, there's also 18% tax. Is there anything where the government is not taking tax? Isn't is unfair?

In return what exactly we middle class salaried employees are getting?

The realization only gets uglier with every passing day. Guess what, HNIs are fleeing to other nations, all governments are hell bent on giving freebies for political gains, who do you think is going to pay for these in coming times. THE MIDDLE CLASS.

Just accept the fact that you were unlucky to not be born in an european country who got rewarded by karma for colonizing and looting the world. Be proud of India, be proud of filling pockets of corrupt politicians, be proud of paying taxes so that rapists in jails can have a free meal.

How are you paying 18% tax on NPS contribution? I have been contributing for 3 years and never paid GST
