MP ministers to now pay Income Tax as cabinet revokes 52-year-old rule

The Madhya Pradesh cabinet, led by Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, announced on Tuesday that state ministers will now be responsible for paying their own Income Tax, overturning a rule from 1972 where the state government covered this expense. Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya mentioned that Chief Minister Yadav proposed the idea during the cabinet meeting, which was subsequently agreed upon, leading to the decision for ministers to handle their own Income Tax payments.
