Dosa vendor earns Rs 6 lakh monthly without paying tax sparking debate on income disparities in India

A dosa vendor in India reportedly earns Rs 6 lakh monthly but pays no income tax, according to a viral social media post by Naveen Kopparam. This has sparked discussions about income disparities and tax obligations between self-employed individuals and salaried workers. Kopparam noted that the vendor makes about Rs 20,000 daily, taking home Rs 3-3.5 lakh after expenses. In contrast, a salaried employee earning Rs 60,000 monthly pays around 10% in taxes, raising questions about fairness in tax compliance. Social media users have reacted with mixed views, highlighting the tax practices of various professions and the challenges faced by self-employed individuals. Some pointed out that the government has access to more financial data now, suggesting a potential for better tax enforcement.
