Madhya Pradesh Ministers to Pay Income Tax on Salaries and Allowances, no more a burden for the government

The Madhya Pradesh cabinet, led by Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, decided on June 25, 2024, that state ministers will now be responsible for paying income tax on their salaries and allowances out of their own pockets. This marks a significant change from a 1972 rule under which the state government bore the tax burden. This decision was approved unanimously during a cabinet meeting held in Bhopal.

Since 1972, the state government paid income tax on behalf of ministers, ministers of state, deputy ministers, and parliamentary secretaries. Now, the ministers will pay the tax themselves for their salaries and allowances.

The opposition Congress party criticized the decision, arguing that the state government should focus on reducing wasteful expenditure on luxuries rather than imposing new financial burdens on ministers.
