Trending @Cognizant; When Your Bonus Turns Into Tax

Worked hard all year, waited for the bonus… and when it finally came, about 83% went straight to taxes while only 17% reached the bank account.

Sometimes it feels like the harder you work, the bigger the share that disappears before you even see it.

Middle-class employees keep contributing, but moments like this really make you wonder about the system. #Taxation #MiddleClass #SalaryLife #India
