Leave India & struggle for basics like house help, groceries. Invest your salary in renting 150 sq ft studio apartment 1 hour away from workplace.
Do extra jobs & celebrate this hardships as ‘independence’
And then pay 40% income tax
If you are under 30 and in 30% tax bracket - just leave India.
Come back in 10-15 years (IF YOU WANT). By then you will have enough money to retire and you will be set for life.
Have kids outside. Ensure they get a better citizenship / passport. They will be set for life.
Atal setu approach road crack is due to loose soil. This is normal in Konkan region.

India’s income tax is very confusing
🔸 No tax till ₹7.5 lakh (New Tax Regime)
🔸 I am sure that this will be raised to ₹10 lakh in next 2 years
🔹 30% tax above ₹10 lakhs
India is missing out on historic opportunity to PR itself as low tax nation.
