I'll leave it for you to judge - https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/wealth/tax/latest-incom...

1 Lakh = 100,000 1 USD = 73 Rs.

A mid-level manager / programmer would pay around 20-25% in taxes.

Plus, Current GST (VAT) rate in India is 18% for goods and services like most countries. There are reduced rates 0%, 5% and 12% for some goods and services, and 28% luxury rate for some items.

And finally, other tariffs on things like iPhone, computer parts, cars etc.

That seems fairly low given the fact that a mid-level programmer is pretty fortunate relatively
