Editorial With Sujit Nair | What is Wrong With 'Wealth Distribution'? | Sam Pitroda

In a recent episode of 'Editorial', Mr. Sujit Nair delved into the topic of taxing inherited wealth, prompted by a statement from Sam Pitroda, Chairman of Indian Overseas Congress. Pitroda, in an interview, discussed the rationale behind wealth redistribution, citing the example of inheritance tax in the United States. He characterized it as an intriguing policy that prioritizes the public interest over the super-rich. Pitroda explained that under this law, if someone possesses $100 million in wealth and passes away, only 45% of it can be transferred to their children, with the remaining 55% claimed by the government. He viewed this as a fair measure, emphasizing the notion that individuals who accumulate wealth during their lifetime should contribute a portion of it back to society upon their passing.

Inheritance tax does not apply to all people. Only if you inherit very high amount of wealth, inheritance tax will be applied. Even in the US, inheritance is taxed if wealth of more than $23 million is inherited. similarly in India, if wealth of >10 crore is inherited, then 10% tax must be levied. if someone is inheriting >1000 crore rupees then 30% must be taxed. It is fair proposition in a democracy. inheritance tax will also have slabs like income tax, only that the tax slabs will be higher. almost up to 10 crore inheritance will not be taxed.

[@cyrilpereira3996]

The trouble arises when Tax Laws are like bull dozers. Even salaried employees pay a hefty 30% Tax on “ personal Income..”, even on their Pension. Recently, the huge windfall gains made by “ Political Parties…”, by way of Electoral Bonds was exposed via RTI/HSC Landmark Judgement. Have these Parties paid any Income Tax on it ? Time to analyse.

[@user-us1kp3md1y]

It is clear sir that you do not know ABC of economics: 1. Super Rich are Super Rich because they own businesses. And businesses are considered as a seperate legal entity. An institution public or private has its own identity and its own funds. The founder/ inheritors control the decisions through their shareholding. That will be the majority of their wealth and it cannot be re-distributed. You think if this law comes to force and Mukesh Ambani dies, everybody will get a reliance share :) 2. What about politicians. I come from TamilNadu. I know politicians here are super rich. Election affidavit says M.K.Stalin does not even own a car and they have accepted this. Where is the X-Ray here? How come they are not able to track his wealth? 3. Finally those who will suffer will be the ones who are made accountable for every penny they earn. The middle class 4. Why should anybody get more than 5 things. Food, electricity, clothes, home and education. If these five are available to a person everything else is an aspiration which they should earn not get 5. Only a govt incapable of wealth generation will try to get by wealth transfer
