In a time when patriotism and national unity are running high amid the ongoing India-Pakistan situation, the Andhra Pradesh government has made a notable move to honor and support its soldiers.

Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan recently announced that the state government will now exempt active Indian Defence Forces personnel from paying property tax. This exemption applies to homes located within Gram Panchayat limits.

The decision, implemented by the Panchayat Raj Department based on a recommendation from the Director of Sainik Welfare, marks a meaningful step in recognizing the contributions of serving soldiers. Until now, such tax relief was limited to retired personnel or those serving in border areas. Going forward, all active duty members—regardless of their current posting—will be eligible.

The exemption is applicable to one house owned by the soldier or jointly owned with their spouse, provided they reside there.

This initiative reflects the Andhra Pradesh government’s deep respect and appreciation for the armed forces. It is a thoughtful, proactive policy aimed at strengthening the support system for soldiers and their families.
