To uncover the reasons behind this rise of the rich, ET spoke to economists, tax experts and chartered accountants, some of whom preferred to remain anonymous. They attribute this rise in crorepati taxpayers to a variety of factors, including a booming stock market, robust profits in select companies, aggressive talent poaching with a huge hike in salaries, stringent tax enforcement and changes in tax regulations. \u201cLet\u2019s not forget that when Covid hit us and the Indian economy plummeted, many large companies continued to thrive and the stock market remained buoyant,\u201d says R <a ref=\"dofollow\" data-ga-onclick=\"Inarticle articleshow link click#News#href\" href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/topic\/prasad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prasad<\/a>, former chairman of the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT). <!--\/article_liveblog.cms?msid=105115637&pos=toppotime:1-->Another former chief of the CBDT, Sudhir <a ref=\"dofollow\" data-ga-onclick=\"Inarticle articleshow link click#News#href\" href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/topic\/chandra\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chandra<\/a>, says the income-tax department\u2019s meticulous data matching of disclosures made by taxpayers in their returns of investment (RoI) has significantly contributed to the increasing number of individuals transitioning to the crorepati-taxpayer bracket. \u201cWhenever a mismatch between reported earnings and taxes paid is detected, the department promptly issues notices,\u201d he says, adding that taxpayers are regularly nudged if discrepancies arise between advance tax payments and current year transactions.<\/p>\n<div data-align=\"\" data-msid=\"115122176\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"midImg clearfix\">\n<figure class=\"imgBg\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Key reasons\" alt=\"Key reasons\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Mission-2047-India-charts-road-to-a-developed-economy.jpg\" class=\"lazy gwt-Image\" data-msid=\"115122176\" data-original=\"https:\/\/img.etimg.com\/photo\/msid-115122176\/key-reasons.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Rise of the rich <\/strong><br \/>In Assessment Year (AY) 2013-14, corresponding to FY2012-13, India had around 40,000 individuals reporting a taxable income of more than `1 crore, according to a recent SBI Research report that sourced its raw data from the income-tax department. By AY2020-21 (FY2019-20), which remained largely unaffected by the pandemic, the number of crorepati taxpayers climbed to 120,000, with a modest increase to 130,000 the following year. A sharp rise in the number of super-rich Indians in the `1 crore-plus bracket was observed only in AY2022-23 and AY2023-24, reaching 190,000 and 220,000, respectively, according to the same data set.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a demand for talent, with requisite experience and skills, in rapidly expanding industries such as AI-based tech sector, green energy, professional services, startups in emerging areas, travel and hospitality and real estate,\u201d says Vikas <a ref=\"dofollow\" data-ga-onclick=\"Inarticle articleshow link click#News#href\" href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/topic\/vasal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vasal<\/a>, national managing partner of tax at Grant Thornton Bharat. He adds that many senior executives have also greatly benefited from a surging stock market, with the BSE Sensex leaping from 29,000 at the end of FY2019-20 to 73,000 by March-end 2024. <\/p>\n<p><!--\/include_growfast.cms?pagename=article&skipcss=1potime:1--><br \/>\u201cAfter Covid, the great resignation wave hit corporates, which forced them to increase remuneration by 20-30% mid-year, and it also contributed to several salaried income taxpayers going above the crore mark,\u201d says Ranen Banerjee, partner and leader of economic advisory at PwC India. He says high corporate profitability, along with large bonus payouts in recent years, has swelled the number of individuals in the crore-plus income pool.According to the ET Intelligence database, which looked at publicly available data of listed companies, the number of executives earning salaries of over Rs1 crore rose from 1,609 in 2019-20 to 1,902 in 2022-23 \u2014 a modest 18% increase over three years. This uptick can account for only a tiny part of the salaried individuals in the Rs1 crore-plus tax bracket. Tax experts, instead, point to the unusually large investment gains from a surging capital market as a key factor, with many salaried individuals in the Rs50 lakh-1 crore range crossing into the Rs1 crore-plus income tier. Sudhir Kapadia, senior advisor at EY, says the new wave of crorepati taxpayers spans legacy investors, fresh entrants in the futures and options space, successful startup founders and executives in select companies and sectors. While salaries of executives have risen due to intense competition for top talent, Kapadia points out that this alone doesn\u2019t explain the substantial surge in crorepati taxpayers over just three years. \u201cDuring the Covid period, as profits soared for major companies, dividends to shareholders also increased. With dividend income becoming taxable in the hands of individuals starting from 2020-21, many found themselves crossing into the Rs1 crore tax bracket,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark the dividends <\/strong><br \/>Former tax officials Prasad and Chandra agree, emphasising that the new rule of taxing dividends at the individual rather than the corporate level has driven numerous CEOs and senior executives across sectors into the Rs1 crore plus tax bracket. <\/p>\n<p>While presenting the Union budget in February 2020, just ahead of the Covid pandemic, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman explained the rationale behind the policy tweak, to be applicable from FY2020-21. \u201cIn order to increase the attractiveness of the Indian equity market and to provide relief to a large class of investors, I propose to remove the DDT (dividend distribution tax) and adopt the classical system of dividend taxation under which the companies would not be required to pay DDT,\u201d she said in her budget speech. \u201cThe dividend shall be taxed only in the hands of the recipients at their applicable rate.\u201d DDT is a tax that a company. pays when it declares dividends to its shareholders. Introduced in 1997 and abolished with effect from 2020-21, the tax was set at a rate of 15%. Dividends, which represent a part of a company\u2019s profits, are distributed to shareholders as a return on their investment.<\/p>\n<div data-align=\"\" data-msid=\"115122199\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"midImg clearfix\">\n<figure class=\"imgBg\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Number of individuals reporting taxable income of over 1 cr\" alt=\"Number of individuals reporting taxable income of over 1 cr\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Mission-2047-India-charts-road-to-a-developed-economy.jpg\" class=\"lazy gwt-Image\" data-msid=\"115122199\" data-original=\"https:\/\/img.etimg.com\/photo\/msid-115122199\/number-of-individuals-reporting-taxable-income-of-over-1-cr.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>This shift in law, which made individuals directly liable for taxes on dividend income, inevitably pushed a significant number of taxpayers into the `1 crore-plus bracket. Between FY2020-21 and FY2021-22, the count of crorepati taxpayers surged from 130,000 to 190,000\u2014a 46% increase in just one year. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Will this trend continue?<\/strong><br \/>Economist and former chief statistician Pronab Sen views the surge in crorepati taxpayers as part of a broader trend of income inequality. \u201cDuring the Covid period, the MSME (micro, small and medium enterprises) sector was severely impacted, losing substantial market share. Larger and stronger companies swiftly filled the void. The top executives of these companies emerged as significant beneficiaries of the shift,\u201d he says, noting that the buoyant stock market has further amplified this inequality. <\/p>\n<p>However, in its October report, SBI Research suggested a different perspective, claiming that income-tax data reflects an overall decline in income inequality, \u201cwith upward transition of lower income people along with their income\u201d. The report highlighted that 43% of individual tax filers earning below `4 lakh in AY15 (FY14) moved out of the lowest income group, demonstrating \u201ca clear rightward shift in the income distribution curve,\u201d as more individuals in lower income brackets increased their earnings.<\/p>\n<p>While experts generally agree on the factors that triggered the sharp rise in Rs 1 crore plus taxpayers, their views on future trajectory vary. As wages in the services sector have steadily aligned with global benchmarks, \u201cthe pool of Rs 1 crore-plus income taxpayers will continue to grow,\u201d says Banerjee of PwC India. Vasal echoes this optimism, suggesting that strong economic activity and sustained GDP growth will fuel this trend. India\u2019s GDP surged by 8.2% in 2023-24, up from 7% in the previous year. \u201cA parallel could be drawn from some similar large economies, which have seen an increase in high-income earners, with rise in economic activity and sustained GDP growth,\u201d Vasal adds. <\/p>\n<p>Not everyone shares this optimistic outlook. \u201cThe trend is bound to plateau,\u201d says former CBDT chief Prasad, pointing to limited room for continued growth at the current pace. His successor Chandra says the recent wave of businesspeople relocating to the United Arab Emirates is one reason why he believes the \u201cuptick may soon moderate\u201d. The exact figures of ultra-wealthy Indians migrating to the UAE and other nations is not readily available. The broader trend is, however, clear: a significant number of Indians seized the crisis as an opportunity, coming out wealthier than ever.<!--\/article_liveblog.cms?msid=105115637&pos=botpotime:1--><\/p>\n<div><strong>Nominations for ET MSME Awards are now open.
