The Chhattisgarh cabinet on Thursday approved a proposal to hike the ‘Additional Excise Duty’ to meet the excise revenue target for 2022-23.
This would also cater to the additional funds for the development of Gauthans and other development activities, said Forest and Climate Change Minister Mohammed Akbar.
Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel chaired the meeting here.
He said necessary amendments were approved to grant compassionate appointment to the dependent family member in case of untimely death of officers and employees of the dissolved Transport Corporation.
The Minister said it was decided to extend from April 1 this year to March 2023 for a one-time settlement of tax dues on motor vehicles before and after the formation of Chhattisgarh.
Similarly, it was decided to exempt the outstanding road tax of Rs 99.95 lakh on city buses for a total of 24 months from April 2020 to March 2022.
Approval was also given to a proposal to provide relaxation of six months in minimum period of five years for promotion from area coordinator to the post of the Chief Executive Officer in Janpad Panchayat.
