"This is price of quality education in India. Can you afford it even if you earn 20 lakh a year? - NO!!!

Why? Because 50% of your $20k income is extorted by government in form of  Income Tax, GST, VAT on petrol, Ro tax, Toll Tax, Professional tax, Capital Gain, Land Registry charges and so on. n you still have to pay for term insurance, health insurance premiums, and PF,  NPS for a old age pension. At 20L income you fall in highest 30% + CESS tax bracket, do not qualify for government schemes, and do not receive any freebies or loan waivers like rich.

In remaining ₹10L, Eir you can have food, clos, pay rent or EMIs, and save something or you can pay school fees for your two kids ... decide!!

Which one would you choose?" ded furr.

Bus Charges: ₹1,08,000 , looks exxagerated number to me, even if bus is taking ₹2500/month it will be ₹30,000 annual. I am not diverting from your views though! You are right that tax bracket has not moved upwards like IT salaries in India has not justed as per inflation!.”
