Dear Smt Sitharamanji

 Dear Smt Sitharamanji,

I appreciate that our MLAs, with their meagre salaries / perks / allowances etc., belong to the POOR strata of our society – and therefore entitled to such exemptions

But, instead of such exemptions, how about bring them within the tax-net by raising their salaries , 10 TIMES ?

Context :

Ignoramus ? Gullible ?

Without doubt, I am so.
Like many from my 1400 million fellow-citizen, I believed :

#   “ Personal Income Tax  Act “ is a Central Subject
#   Any changes in this act can only be done by the Centre and form part of annual Central Budget
#   States cannot exempt any of its own “ state citizen “ from payment of personal income tax

What made me believe this ?

#   If the States had any power / authority to “ exempt “ any particular group of its own “ state citizen “ , then  all Political parties would compete with each other by making such Poll Promises .
