People only want PM Modi – Nirmala Sitharaman

Inheritance tax criticized

He further said that inheritance tax in India directly impacts the middle class. This has a direct impact on the aspirational class. They work hard, put in their sweat, and their hard work pays off in small ways. Common people of the country buy their dream houses with their savings. Some people keep fixed deposits.
Everything was taken away in 1968
Taking aim at the Congress, the Union Finance Minister said that the prestige of the Congress goes on the issue of property tax, I remember that earlier in 1968 there was a compulsory deposit scheme in which 18% and 20% of the deposits of the people were taken. away. No assistance was provided at that time. If such wealth creators are punished merely because they have withheld money, then the progress India has made in the last ten years will be in vain and we may go back to those days. , He also said that you may not believe it but the current generation does not know anything about it. But earlier when Congress was in power, Congress had imposed 90% tax.
