Stage 4 burn...

Welcome to Karnataka,

  • Stamp duty hiked by 200-500%
  • Guidance value up 10-30%
  • Rs 500 cess on vehicle registration
  • Hike in college fees by 10%
  • Taxes on EVs by 10%
  • Revision of seed prices by 30%
  • Alcohol gets costlier
  • Milk pieces increased (three times)
  • Namma Metro fare revision by 70%
  • Effect of sales tax hike
  • Bus fares also up by 15%
  • Electricity tariff revision by 100 per kW
  • Fee on garbage
  • Water tariff to be implemented soon
  • Karnataka MLAs get a 100% salary hike

And then my manger says personal reasons can't be why you ask for pay hike despite delivering numbers.

Forget alcohol, can't even drink milk to forget the pain!

Even if they vote for another party, it'll still be the same. Common man is always at the losing end

Trust me when I say this, but one of the general store in my area completely ignored me when he heard me talking over call in hindi. Then I was told that the owner of store doesn’t like Hindi speaking people and I was like WTF

When you vote on who speaks what & what is his religion, you get this. But I believe more is yet to come.

Not because of govt.. this is reality of Bangalore.. govt is not deciding your rent n all… Best decision i taken to say bye to Bangalore and moved to pune instead.. Only high grade pple whose ctc is more then 30 lkh .. they can only survive in future in Bangalore …remaining will be suffering..

Pune is no better. Maybe for next 2 years but eventually it is will be same as Bengaluru Sky rocketing rents Lack of public infrastructure (Roads/public transport) Marathi/Hindi debate North Indian hate These things have already started propping up. The reason is simply the social divide and overloading the city with not enough resources. Which causes locals to hate outsiders (which is understandable because they never asked for the city to be turned into a cement jungle)
Salaries grow for us IT folks but the city gets expensive for everyone else aswell.

50% of people in Bangalore won't vote. So pleystop complaining. If you can't find a right maid for your house don't expect your house to be clean. Treat politicians like maids, vote for best among worst and expect things

I agree people should vote but life's not gonna suddenly change even if they vote. The system & the politicians are crooked

And then, there are companies asking for everyone to WFO all days. No more WFH. Complex, unfriendly and heavy rules based leave policies.

Idk, it feels like the govt and companies just want us to rot to death ASAP IG

We are already into a dystopian world. Its not specific to BLR. You work hard earn to give it back to the builders, politicians, billionaire investors. You are hamster on the wheel keep running :)

No changes in 30% tax slab rates from the past decade.

Education, Healthcare, Groceries and day to day expenses have increased multifold but no changes in 30% slab rate. 10 Lakhs taxable income is not the same value that it used to be 12 years ago.

Karnataka Govt increased stamp duty

This means all our rental agreements stamp duty will increase, this is an additional burden to all of us. Min 0.5% have been done. Usually the stamp duty charges is put on the tenants 😦
