When I walk down the streets of Delhi, there is very little chance of people knowing me. My relevancy is further lost if I tell you that I am one of the 24 lakh taxpayers who declares an income of over Rs 10 lakh. I am using data to approach what I feel is a very significant shift in the way our country’s economy will shape up based on data from Finance Minister Arun Jaitley’s Budget speech. He stated that among 3.7 crore individuals who filed their tax returns in 2015-16, the number of people showing income more than Rs 50 lakh in the entire country was only 1.72 lakh.
