Yogi Adityanath government of Uttar Pradesh has once again taken a big step for the development of the state and to provide convenience to the general public. In the high-level cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath at his official residence on Wednesday, not one or two but 24 big proposals have been given the green signal. While the decisions taken in this meeting will fill the pockets of government lawyers, the minimum support price (MSP) of maize has been fixed for the farmers. Apart from this, the government has given the biggest relief till date to lakhs of vehicle owners of the state who are burdened with taxes.

In this meeting, the Yogi Cabinet has approved the maize purchasing policy of the Food and Logistics Department as well as many important proposals of the Prison, Irrigation, Excise, Namami Gange and Rural Water Supply, Agriculture and Stamp and Registration Department. The government has fixed the minimum support price of maize at ₹2400 per quintal. For this, the period of government procurement will be from June 5 to July 31 and strict arrangements will be implemented for this in many major districts of the state.

Huge increase of up to 50% in salary, fees and allowances of government lawyers

One of the most important and biggest proposals of this cabinet meeting was related to increasing the fees of government lawyers. There has been a bumper increase of up to 50 percent in the fees and allowances of government advocates representing the Uttar Pradesh government from district courts to the High Court and the Supreme Court. Let us tell you that there was no change in the fees of the Advocate General since 2012 and in the fees of other government lawyers since 2016.

Now after the new decision, the monthly retainership of government lawyers posted in the district courts can be directly increased from ₹9,000 to ₹14,000. At the same time, their per hearing fee can also be increased from ₹ 1650 to ₹ 2500. Similarly, the retainership of Additional District Government Advocates may be increased from ₹7,200 to ₹11,000 and per hearing fee may be increased from ₹1,500 to ₹2,300. Additionally, the monthly retainership of ₹75,000 received by the Advocate General is proposed to be increased to ₹1.25 lakh, while his per hearing fee may be increased from ₹40,000 to ₹60,000.

Lottery started for car owners, 100% penalty waiver and huge tax rebate too

The One-Time Settlement (OTS) scheme proposed by the Transport Department for vehicle owners has created history this time. Under this scheme, for the first time, not only the penalty is being completely waived off 100%, but the vehicle owners are also going to get a bumper rebate of up to 35 percent in the basic tax. This step of the government will provide direct and big benefit to more than 8.48 lakh defaulting vehicle owners of the state. At the same time, the way for tax collection which has been stuck with the government for years will also be cleared. It is noteworthy that one-time tax system has been implemented in the state on light commercial vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes from January 30, 2026.

Talking about the figures, till January 30, 2026, there are about 29.15 lakh vehicles registered in this category, out of which there is a huge outstanding of Rs 1,853 crore, including tax and penalty, on about 8.50 lakh vehicles. Of this dues, Rs 1,073 crore is basic tax and Rs 780 crore is penalty. The department believes that by getting exemption in basic tax, people themselves will come forward and deposit their dues. While preparing this proposal, the relief scheme brought by the Electricity Department on November 13 last year and the plans of the Excise and Stamp Department in the year 2024 have also been cited, so that the cases pending for years can be resolved at lightning speed.

Now gleaming air-conditioned (AC) electric buses will be run on GCC model in 18 major cities of the state.
