Mayawati, Tendulkar and SRK top the tax-payer's list
By
siliconindia news bureau
New Delhi: Among the top taxpayers of the country, Mayawati, Shah Rukh Khan and Sachin Tendulkar top the list in their respective fields. Looking at the huge amounts these public figures have to pay as tax, we can guess their income in a year.
BSP Chief and UP Chief Minister Mayawati paid more than Rs. 26 crore to income tax department and she is at no. 20 in the list. Reportedly, most of her income apparently comes from "gifts" from her supporters. Her income is estimated to be around Rs 75-80 crore.
Shah Rukh Khan, the King Khan of Bollywood paid Rs. 34 crore as income tax and stands at no. 13. He is the highest income taxpayer among actors and also five spots higher than Mayawati. His ever-increasing bank-balance is the result of the number of hit movies he delivers every year.
Sachin Tendulkar is at no. 81 and he is the only cricketer to appear in the list. He had to shell out almost 9 crore as tax, according to the I-T department's compilation of the top 200 taxpayers' list.
Surprisingly, industrialists Anil and Mukesh Ambani do not appear in the list this year, while their mother Kokilaben, barely makes it to the list at 195. She had to pay Rs 4.46 crore as tax. Among industrialists, Max's Analjit Singh tops the list paying Rs 31.49 crore as tax. He is at no. 15.
Country's top taxpayer is from Delhi who paid a whopping amount of Rs. 121 crore as tax. Among the top ten taxpayers of the country, five are from Mumbai and two from Delhi.

1: 10:let all the rich pay taxes, then the
goverment will become rich and then they
declare schemes to wipe out poverty like
money for the jobless, free food for the
hungry, free houses for the homeless and like
wise, people will not be bothered to work, if
i lose my job then the goverment will give me
money for a while then free food, the nation
will be filled with lazy people do you want
this to happen. the rich spend money, it
reaches the poor in various other ways rather
than freely through the goverment. afterall
what is money just a peice of paper.

2: People like Sachin and Sharukh are legends,
they have earned coz they have such talent.
Nobody can doubt on them. But Mayavati, who
is CM of UP is paying such a huge amt. as
tax, really doubtful.
Now even her relatives and supporters have become so rich that they are giving such big amounts as gifts........
Imagine, where is India going. People like Mayavati are filling there accounts with money in India and abroad nad on the other hand, millions are dying with hunger.
Jago India Jago......

3: The power of P&P - This leads to the desire
of Mayawati to be at the top of Indian
Politicians. But when the Power and Purse
combine - beware - the Nation is in for some
Big trouble.

calculation. Ok JAGTE RAHO India Walo.
Request all indians dont be proud after these

5: I am curious about mayavati's income. Govt
has to declare names of the people who gives
these gifts in crores or are they forced to
give these gifts?

7: Just a Article prior to this on the Mumbais
Expensive Lane constructed from the AMBANIS?
is proof that, the Name Ambani does not
stand, on highest Taxpayers list, could be
the only reason, the "CORRUPTION EMPIRE"
having built from Ambanis? (Including Income
Tax Officers /S.Tax or others. But the
Gujarathi Media attempts his Name to keep at
the highest Level but not as NON PAYMENT OF
TAXES? or the Corrupt Empire developer?
Similarly, we had in Mumbai the EXPENSIVE
"KULI", at the Mumbai Docks? a gangster
turned Millionaire? with the assistance of
all Government Officers? Customs etc.? Or
the King of Huligens cum Gangster, GAWLI,
turned out to be the MP? at Parliament of
India? than we can presume the future of
India that we may build for our future
generations to come?

8: My mom always tell me India is going to be
next super power..Look at these Indians in
Forbes magzine..Lets move to India. But I
beleive India will be rich if each & every
Indian has right to bare neccities of life.
Does not matter how many rich personaties we
breed and how many sattelites we shoot into
universe, if we do not have the basic human
rights, then nothing really matters.

9: It will be good if the riches pay the taxes
but that alone would not wipe out poverty.
That money, most likely, will land into
politician's and babu's pockets. The life of
common man can only be changed if they wake
up and take responsibility collectively.

10: If the top 10% of the Indian filty rich and
the marwaris pay taxes honestly!, We can wipe
out poverty in our country. No wonder the
Ambanis are so RICH..! They evade taxes...!!
MEDIA!! Stop smoking their ass..!! as India's
weathiest!! Can't the media and the goverment
go after them for taxes..!!
Forget Taxes... They never have any philanthropic Interest!! Will never give a penny free without getting a dollar advantage!!
Mera Bharat Mahan!
