How on earth is not paying additional benefits for having more than 2 children remotely similar to the Indian example?

not rewarding having extra children is very different from penalising having extra children

i dont think it is in practice. in each case the effect of the policy is a tax on large families at the margin

I mean you are right that the effect on the margin is to discourage having more children - but the expectation that the government will give you more money the more children you have seems a strange choice of baseline counterfactual
