Tax payers of India please wake up. Why super rich politicians are not paying income taxes in India?

You, me, our parents have been (and being) looted for 60+ years by Indian Politicians by not Taxing rich politicians who either are either rich landlords or they disguide as a farmer. Can we wake up now?

The only reason is they can convert huge balck money amassed , by disguising this as agricultural income which is non-taxable in India. They buy barren land or farm houses to convert all this black money.

Why can't we tax this super rich people?

Mind you I am not talking about small and medium farmers. But why can't you tax person with more than Rs. 50 Lakhs (US$100000+) per annum?

Let small and medium farmers stop commiting suicide as they will have good money in their hand in case more money comes to govt. of India

I would like to raise this awareness, you all honest tax payers.

    Main reason is our politicians Only.

    As per the constitution, tax can be charged on Agricultural income by State Government. If this is to be changed, we need constitutional amendment which is not possible in the present political joint venture scenirio.

    State Government is also not willing to tax agricultural income as vested interest of the parties leaders.

    You can see how they can unite irrespective of their political parties when there existance comes into question e.g. holding of a gain position.

    here lies the answers to your question.
