If slogging for hours to meet deadlines, hunting for the right talent, and arranging for the right equipment was tough, dealing with indifferent, inflexible babus is impossible. Though many keep pushing forward with the hope for change, many others have given up on the very concept of hope.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A leading entrepreneur from Bengaluru, Rohit Shroff, has summed up his frustration in a viral LinkedIn post, explaining his challenges with the government despite paying his taxes- about Rs.4 crore on time.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn India, barely 4\u20135% of the population pays income tax. And yet, when notices are sent, clarifications raised, and scrutiny intensified, the same small group keeps getting targeted. The compliant. The ones already inside the system.\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFighting the system costs more than submitting to it, so most don\u2019t resist. They pay, respond, and move on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indians don\u2019t lack capability. They run large businesses across the UAE, the US, and much of the world. When they leave, it isn\u2019t because they hate the country. It\u2019s because the system doesn\u2019t reward growth. It penalises it. It slows it down,\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe title=\"Embedded post\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/embed\/feed\/update\/urn:li:share:7409110302031675393?collapsed=1\" width=\"504\" height=\"264\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rohit is now looking to move out and build elsewhere, as the hope for change isn\u2019t going to turn into reality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many others agreed with him.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI moved back to India in 2019 believing the system had changed and would keep improving. I\u2019m now certain it hasn\u2019t. It\u2019s designed to clip your wings, not help you fly, and eventually ambition must learn to leave,\u201d Dhruv Mohan, a finance professional, said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe issue is that the politicians need votes to stay in power. They need to buy those votes. The use the tax payers money to fund their election. The number of tax payers are so low, that they have no voice when it comes to elections. The really wealthy who can actually effect any change use their money to create monopolies. Who suffers, the people in corporate job who have their wages garnished right from the source. We have no voice but are funding the entire country. The biggest change that is needed is to tax farming income,\u201d another anonymous user on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/StartUpIndia\/comments\/1pupwqh\/another_entrepreneur_fed_up_of_the_system_and\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reddit<\/a>, commented.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s not about paying hefty amounts in tax, it\u2019s not about infrastructure, it\u2019s about the system targeting that 5% population which is already complaint. We need to raise questions on what IT department does about those who don\u2019t even file their returns. I\u2019m okay being asked to prove every investment if everyone is asked to do that. Why are they not targeting those who are not even in the system? That\u2019s the whole point,\u201d a third said.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the many changes in the rules, netas and babus aren\u2019t doing the job they\u2019re supposed to- boost employment and jobs, even as surface-level moves have been showcased as strides taken to boost the Aatmanirbhar Bharat vision. When will the government actually listen to the entrepreneurs, or will it anytime soon? Maybe no one has an answer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&lt;p&gt;The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/helloentrepreneurs.com\/business\/no-place-for-hardworking-entrepreneurs-this-guys-post-highlights-the-unaddressable-challenges-to-succeeding-in-india-72778\/\">No place for hardworking entrepreneurs?
