  2. There are 33 million tax payer in india which means less than 4% of the total population. In many European countries it is more than 20-40%

    But i want to ask one thing that is among 33 million tax payers, how many actually pay tax. There are lot of people who makes there tax file in such way that they have to pay no tax at all.
