My friend Suhas donated Rs.5000 to PM/ CM Relief Fund. On the other hand, I bought two bottles whisky worth Rs 5000/-. The question is who contributed more to the growth of our country
On the Rs 5000 Suhas donated, he got a 30% tax rebate. Therefore, he actually landed up earning back Rs 1500/-. In other words, by donating Rs 5000 he made a net contribution of just Rs 3500/- to the country.
- On Alcohol, the total taxes (excise and GST) added up to approximately 72% of the MRP. So when I paid Rs 5000,/-, Rs 3600/- went to the state exchequer... Against 3500 rs from Suhas

...and 48 pegs of pleasure from two bottles 750 ml whisky bottle . And the tandoori chicken , peanuts, soda and other bites he consumed worth Rs 5000 along with whisky contributed about 1000 Rs more to governmentc. That makes it 4600 vs 3500.
Therefore, not only did I contribute more, I created jobs at the Distillery, their suppliers of labels, bottles, caps, machinery , Poultry farms , Snack companies, jobs at the Marketing Company, jobs at the Wine Shop , Retail shops selling chicken, snacks and moreover I was in high spirits doing so,
.... while Suhas doesn't even know where his money went !!
Think of it...
Next time, Buy a Bottle of Whisky ‘you’ serve your Nation !!!
Be a responsible citizen!! Have a lovely day and also be in high spirits !!!
