Lucknow. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath told the ministers on Friday that you should pay your tax yourself. With this, the four-decade-old practice came to an end, under which ministers' tax was filled from the treasury. The state government has also issued an order in this regard.
Actually, this law came in 1981. Then there was a lot of criticism in the media about it. Accordingly, the Chief Minister and ministers of Uttar Pradesh did not have to pay their income tax. Their tax was paid by the state government. This decision was taken under the Ration and Retail Act 1981.
We have no information about this law: politicians

Uttar Pradesh Finance Minister Suresh Khanna said that till now all ministers were taxed by the treasury. According to the new order of the Chief Minister, now all ministers will have to pay their own tax.
