Today a startup - Travelkhana had its account seized and money emptied by authorities.<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;inc42.com&#x2F;features&#x2F;the-curse-of-angel-tax-travelkhana-left-with-zero-money-after-cbdt-seizes-inr-33-lakh-freezes-accounts&#x2F;<p>#shutdownindia is trending on twitter. More than 2000 startups have been served notices under the provision. Startups who are the only hope for job generation in India are reeling under AngelTax.<p>We request startup community around the world to show solidarity with Indian brethren at this juncture. Say no to Tax Terrorism. Govt needs to act. #SaveStartupIndia
