Telangana MLA Tax Row: Earn ₹3 Lakh, Tax On Only ₹20,000? Forum Exposes VVIP Privilege | Brass Tacks

A major controversy has erupted in Telangana after the Forum for Good Governance (FGG) flagged massive tax avoidance loopholes enjoyed by elected representatives. While MLAs and MLCs in Telangana take home up to ₹3 lakh per month, only a fraction—around ₹20,000—is listed as basic salary. The remaining majority is categorized under non-taxable allowances, leaving them paying negligible tax on huge income packages. Even worse, under Section 3(4) of the Payment of Salaries Act, the state government uses public taxpayer money to cover the income tax liabilities of the Chief Minister, Deputy CM, and Ministers. As public infrastructure faces stress and ordinary citizens pay full taxes, these VVIP tax perks have raised serious concerns over fiscal responsibility. In this video, we break down how the salary structure works, what the Forum for Good Governance is demanding, and why taxpayers are calling for an immediate overhaul. -tacksNews18 Mobile App - https://onelink.to/desc-youtube
