I represent a large number of salaried employees of private sector. We do not have any post retirement benefit, e.g. pension, old-age healthcare etc. All benefits are merged into our annual income. As a result, we pay a substantial amount of income tax. Our saving is minimal because of soaring prices and we pay tax accurate to the last penny (Fringe benefit is also abolished).
Therefore, I request you to please consider some sort of assistance (especially medical) for those salaried individual who pay income tax above a certain threshold.
