Who Are We

Taxpayers Association of Bharat (TAXAB) is the organization of taxpaying citizens who are paying taxes in any form – direct or indirect. So every citizen of Bharat is a taxpayer.

We want to ensure that money paid to the Govt. as tax is spent wisely to create real impact. We seek to ask the Govt. that subsidy benefits are given to only those who have maximum 2 kids so that people do not abuse the Govt. welfare schemes. We will also pressurize the Govt. to pass Population Control Bill.

As per UN report, Bharat has more than 50 Cr people below poverty line. This is more than double of number of people below poverty line in the Year 1961.

Decades of policy initiatives, poverty alleviation schemes and subsidies have failed to reduce poverty, in fact it has only increased.

Current policy of using poverty to harness vote bank has created a ‘beneficiary’ class that thrives on public money. All political parties are forced to use populist schemes that are grossly ineffective in dealing with poverty. BPL families do not get much benefit from Govt. schemes and have more kids creating perennial poverty.

It’s time we use new thinking to end this loot of public money and create more efficient policy that is effective in raising people out of the poverty and can also ensure that poverty is eradicated not expanded.

Taxpayers Association of Bharat supports movement against poverty and over population.
