An Indian man living in the US has sparked an online debate after claiming he saved more in India despite earning around ₹1 crore annually in America. Nitin Malhotra said his $8,000 monthly income is heavily reduced by mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, food and other household expenses, leaving him with about $1,000-$1,200 in savings. He said that while earning ₹25 lakh annually in India, he could save around ₹1-1.25 lakh every month after rent and daily expenses. His comparison has triggered a wider discussion on salaries, cost of living and quality of life. (PC: HT)
