All of India is currently resonating with a strong sense of patriotism and unity in light of the ongoing situation between India and Pakistan. In line with this sentiment, the Andhra Pradesh government has taken a commendable step to support the welfare of soldiers in the state.
As per the latest announcement from Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, the state government has decided to exempt active soldiers from paying property tax.
The Panchayat Raj Department has made a significant decision to grant property tax exemption to houses owned by personnel of the Indian Defence Forces within Gram Panchayat limits.
This move, based on the recommendation of the Director of Sainik Welfare, stands as a heartfelt gesture of Andhra Pradesh’s gratitude toward our uniformed heroes.
Until now, this exemption was available only to retired army personnel or those serving on the borders. From now on, all active personnel of the Indian Defence Forces—regardless of where they are posted—will be eligible for this benefit. The exemption will apply to one house where they or their spouse reside or jointly own.
This is a highly appreciable initiative, thoughtfully designed by the Andhra Pradesh government to strengthen the soldiers’ ecosystem in the state. Such proactive measures are essential to show our unwavering support for the brave men and women who serve the nation.
