Indore:
Former Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan has demanded that provision really should be produced in the Union price range to provide low-cost well being and education to the middle class, who spend their taxes honestly.
Mahajan placed his demand just before Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in a letter on Tuesday.
Mahajan talked about that so far we have noticed that schemes and provisions are produced only for men and women coming from poor, extremely poor, weaker, minority, schedule caste and schedule tribe sections and so forth. But whilst preparing the welfare measures, a section of actual tax payers are always left behind - the middle class.
These are men and women from reduced or middle-class experts like shop keepers, experts, medical doctors, advocates, professors and those from the service sector. These men and women are nonetheless deprived from the added benefits from Aayushman Bharat scheme.
Mahajan recommended that a percentage of tax paid by middle-class should be kept aside for them to compensate for expenditure incurred for remedy of severe illness or operation. Similarly, there really should be some scheme to provide education grant, primarily based on the tax paid.
