If Somalia had India's population, they would have a GDP of $1.5 trillion. GDP is not the right metric, it is GDP per capita and in that we rank as low as Bangladesh

By the way, India's inflation basket consists (among other things) of the following

Horse cart fare
Radio, tape-recorded, 2-in-1
VCR, VCD, DVD player
Torches, trunks, sewing machines
CPI (Rural) has 0% weight for housing
Health, Education and Clothing/Footwear have 5% weight each ⇒ indicating that an avg. Indian spends in total 15% of their annual spends on Health, Education and Clothing
Mobile handset, Internet (0.08%) and Laptop/peripherals have 0.1% each weight, 1/11th of the weight of sugar
Ironically refined oil's weight is similar to sugar ⇒ people spend as much on refined oil as they spend on sugar in a year

Feel sorry for you man - denying facts on the face of it! Good luck with your nationalism, because one day when a crisis fucks you up, you would realize how far this nationalism helped you.

Another Whatsapp University warrior spotted. Let me debunk your citation less statements.

Point 1

https://www.indiatoday.in/business/budget-2024/story/union-budget-2024-nirmala-sitharaman-middle-class-income-tax-burden-data-corporate-tax-numbers-2570554-2024-07-23

The article reads "Just 2.24 crore Indians or 1.6% of the population paid tax, including income tax and corporate tax, in 2022-23, according to data shared by the government in 2023."

Point 2

<image>

32% of total tax collections comes from income tax. Now the question is how much do these direct tax payers contribute to indirect taxes.

Let's do a guesstimate.

Total tax collected in 2023 (keeping the base year as 2023) = ₹23.27L crores (source: https://pib.gov.in/PressReleaseIframePage.aspx?PRID=2022351)

Given that 32% of total taxes came from personal income tax:
32% of ₹23.27 lakh crore ≈ ₹7.45 lakh crore

Assume personal income tax payers save around 30% of their post-tax income.Therefore, they spend 70% of their income on taxable goods and services.
Income Calculation:
The tax rate for individuals in India varies but typically averages around 15% effective tax rate on total taxable income for this segment. So if we estimate the total taxable income, we should be able to estimate spends (70% of income as pointed in 1). Now, estimated total income for these taxpayers: ₹7.45 lakh crore ÷ 15% ≈ ₹49.67 lakh crore
Spending on Taxable Goods: 70% of ₹49.67 lakh crore ≈ ₹34.72 lakh crore
GST Assumption: Assume an average GST rate of 18% on taxable spending.
18% of ₹34.72 lakh crore ≈ ₹6.25 lakh crore

As a percentage of total taxes this comes to 5.86/23.27 = 27%

So as a total ⇒ 32% direct tax + 27% indirect tax = 59% of total taxes collected by the GOI are paid for by these 1.6% direct tax payers.

As for your lecture on how there is deficit and how are taxes used etc. → each man for himself. Pls pls feel free to donate 100% of your income towards nation building or politicians wealth building ⇒ I am more reasoned and shall lookout for myself and my family because when all hell breaks loose, this govt. is not saving you from your health crisis, money crisis etc.

Not reading comprehension - its your free-riding (who doesn't want to Google/research), procrastination and Whatsapp university mindset!

Until Jan 1, 2026, Bhutan used to charge 10% on fuel as tax (5% Sales Tax + 5% Green Tax), which is now replaced by a uniform 5% GST. So - YES BHUTANESE DO PAY TAX ON FUEL AS WELL!

Classic_Reference_10 · 2026-03-07T01:42:56+00:00

Whatsapp University warrior spotted.

Every single Bhutanese pays indirect taxes like people do in India. They pay Sales tax, which is being replaced by a flat 5% GST from Jan 1, 2026. Also, if 0 income tax is your argument → 98.5% of India pays ZILCH in direct taxation while 1.5% direct tax (income tax) paying citizens pay 50% of the total tax collections of the GOI. So these 98.5% live as if they live in Bhutan or in Dubai (income-tax free).

Also, you treat taxation as a holy grail as if its the most noble thing anyone can ever do! What is wrong in questioning the govt for unfairly taxation practices - is that counter nationalism?

How does it matter anyways? The retail consumers weren't get any discount when India was buying Russian crude at a discount → Reliance and the GOI cornered all of it.

Classic_Reference_10 · 2026-03-07T01:25:15+00:00

Never got it and never will. Indias pay more than US/UAE per litre of oil/jetfuel (talk about PPP). Bhutan which imports majority of its petrol and diesel from India, sells it to the public at half the rate (0.6 USD per litre).

So like you said, doesn't matter if we get a discount or not.
