Should government give basic necessities to laid off citizens?

While Indian government reaps and enjoys the taxation of high paid IT jobs, there are hardly any responsibility in taking care of laid off citizens. I’m pretty sure most high paid individuals are irritated with the 10s of lacs of tax paid every year and yet not getting basic benefits from the government. No wonder so many HNIs leave India every year and settle in nations where high earning is nurtured and not abused.

In my honest opinion, Indian government should do the following for laid off individuals based on their previous year tax collected.

  1. Provide Rent + Basic necessities cost for at least 6 months or joining the next job, whichever is earlier.
  2. Provide health insurance to laid off citizen and dependent individuals for at least 1 year or till the person joins next job, whichever is earlier.
  3. Pause Home loan EMIs for at least 6 months or till the person joins next job, whichever is earlier.
