Today, in Parliament, the Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the final budget of the Modi government 2.0. As expected, there have been changes in the tax slab. Some people have welcomed these changes while others have taken to social media to create memes. Twitter is flooded with memes about income tax. Before we look at the memes, let’s understand the new tax slab.
This is the new tax slab:
Under the new tax system, those with an annual income of 0 to 3 lakh rupees will not have to pay any tax. Those with an income of more than 3 lakh rupees and up to 6 lakh rupees will be taxed at 5%. Under the new system, those with an income of more than 6 lakh rupees and up to 9 lakh rupees will be taxed at 10%. Meanwhile, those with an income of more than 12 lakh rupees and up to 15 lakh rupees will be taxed at 20% and those with an income of more than 15 lakh rupees will be taxed at 30%.
“Incredible memes were shared on Twitter. It was the talk of taxes, now it’s the talk of memes. Users on the social media platform are getting involved in taking the government’s mickey through memes. Twitter user Sagar shared a picture of Salman Khan’s dance, with the caption “It’s happened for the first time in 8-9 years.” Meanwhile, user Navdeep Yadav, with the username, shared a meme from the movie 3 Idiots, making fun of the middle-class, with the caption “Neeche se check kar… neeche se.”
