Strongly disagree with this view. A family of 5 earning 12 lacs would be a per capita income of Rs 2.4 lacs pa or Rs 20k per month. The current per capita income in India of over 70 % of the population is under Rs 5k a month. They can afford to & should pay tax. This is populist.
No income tax payable on income up to Rs 12 lakh - is HUGE. This COULD have a massive implication for the economy - not just giving relief to the common taxpayer who was feeling crushed - but also to revive the economy from the slump it is in. For years economists have been insisting that India has a demand side problem - that people need more money in their hands to spend - that would lead to more production and so on. A tax cut coupled with smart focus on medium and small scale business could see the economy picking up.
