Bengaluru entrepreneur Rohit Shroff plans to leave India in 2026, citing a "flawed" taxation system. He stated he paid over Rs 4 crore in GST and income tax in the last 18 months but faces constant, layered scrutiny from authorities. Shroff argues that compliant taxpayers are treated with suspicion, while the system benefits the majority rather than the minority who consistently pay taxes. He believes this scrutiny is disproportionate, costing time and money, and that tax-paying business owners are a politically insignificant group.
