Punishing honest tax paying citizens
A 48-year-old Software Architect from Bangalore was forced to resign after developing a disability. In his 20-year career, he paid over ₹2 crore in taxes, income tax, cess, surcharge, everything. A law-abiding, tax-paying citizen who built India’s tech backbone.
But the moment he lost his job, the system he funded turned its back on him.
No unemployment benefits.
No disability pension.
No financial support.
Just rising bills and a body that now needs regular treatment.
He’s trying to survive in Bangalore, one of India’s most expensive cities, while battling mounting expenses. He’s looking for freelance work to stay afloat, but even then, 31.2% of every rupee he earns is snatched away as tax.
But the cruelty didn’t stop there. He submitted a claim for his disability insurance, expecting some relief.
The insurance company rejected it, saying, “You didn’t mention this condition in your original application,” even after submitting all the medical test reports proving it developed after the policy was issued.
So let’s get this straight😡:
🔹He paid his taxes religiously for 20 years.
🔹 He bought insurance and paid hefty premiums.
🔹 Now disabled, jobless, and abandoned, no claim, no help, no justice.
🔹 Still forced to pay 18% GST on his health insurance premium, despite having no income.
What kind of country punishes its honest citizens for falling sick?
This is not just his story. This is the story of millions of middle-class Indians who are taxed, looted, and then thrown away like garbage the moment life gets hard.
This is not India. This is a brutal hell.😡😡 more

There is hardly a few crore people are Tax payer in this Country out of 145 Crore population. Honest Tax Payers even after paying Tax throughout their life ever benefited by any of the Govt Schemes. more

Such cases should be given a patient hearing. I suggest that Govt. of India have a seperate scheme under Human /Resources where such cases are given justice. Secondly, Insurance Companies, at the time of sales hide a lot of information but paint a rosy picture. But at the time of disbursement of funds to the needy they turn the other way. I have come across cases where they have paid totally undeserving cases but denied to the genuine cases. more

Very pathetic. My friend developed psychological issues due to undue pressure from employer. He resigned. He spent next year or so without income and with mounting medical bills recovering from what is an employer created mess. The employer washing off hands and forcing to resign without offering accommodation or alternatives is not acceptable. more

Absolutely correct. India is not country for educated and talented people. It has been ruined by excessive & mostly counterproductive population---dishonest, criminal and anti-national Politicians are the worst among them. more
