Pawan Kalyan, the Chief of the Janasena Party and Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, is again in the news with his powerful decisions that have deep roots among the people. Amidst the current tensions with Pakistan, Pawan Kalyan has declared a major step towards helping the families of soldiers who are serving in the Indian Armed Forces. On Friday, he made a historic announcement that military families living in rural Andhra Pradesh would be exempted from paying property taxes. This is not only an announcement but was followed up immediately with an official government order on the same day, making it sure to be implemented quickly.
Indian soldiers, who make innumerable sacrifices to safeguard the country, are already eligible for different types of government assistance. These perks extend to serving soldiers and veterans, as well as the families of soldiers who have fallen in service to the nation. To further add strength to this support, Pawan Kalyan’s ruling to exempt military families from property taxes is a powerful add-on, showing his commitment to the well-being of those who serve the nation.
The Andhra Pradesh Panchayati Raj and Rural Development Department on Friday night issued a Government Order making it mandatory that military families in rural areas of the state will no longer be required to pay property tax. The exemption is not limited to active-duty soldiers’ families but also extends to retired individuals as well as widows of martyred soldiers. The directive guarantees the efficacy of this property tax exception effective as soon as possible and has additional specifics about the enlarged privileges these households will now receive.
