Salary Claim: This is the era of inflation, no one can deny this in any way. At present, inflation is increasing at the rate of doubling during the day and quadrupling at night. Increase in the prices of oil and gas, increase in fares, increase in interest rates, inflation is affecting the people in every way. This can also be gauged from the fact that people’s salaries now seem negligible. This is not what we say but an entrepreneur from Bengaluru.
Actually, a post is becoming increasingly viral on social media. In which the new salary of the new era is being talked about. It has been told in this post that nowadays the salary that people are getting in the metro city is much less than the actual expenditure. This post is from an entrepreneur living in Bengaluru, whose post has sparked a strong debate on social media.

What is the post?
Niket Raj Dwivedi, an entrepreneur living in Bengaluru, made a tweet a few days ago. In this tweet he wrote, ‘2.5 lakh every month is the new Rs 1 lakh’. Which directly means that if your salary is Rs 2.5 lakh then it is equal to Rs 1 lakh as of today. Not only this, he also wrote the names of two cities for this, ‘especially for cities like Mumbai and Bengaluru’. See the post here:

Debate broke out on social media
There has been a strong debate on social media regarding this tweet by Niket. While many users agree with his tweet, many people are also seen against it. Commenting on this, a user wrote, ‘It is really impressive how far many people are from reality.’ So another user wrote, ‘Really, now 28 lakh LPA should be considered normal.’ So another user wrote, ‘Salary of Rs 1 lakh per month should be considered as Rs 20 thousand.’

Similar comments are coming from people on this post. It is clear that there is a period of inflation, even the goods used in daily life are becoming very expensive. In such a situation, Niket’s point cannot be completely rejected. Although Niket is only talking about metro cities. In small towns, the salary of many people is Rs 40-50 thousand or less, in which they have to survive under any circumstances.
