Income certificate limit for SC/ST up to Rs 2 lakh
Bangalore, July 11, DHNS :
The State Government has decided to increase annual income limit to
obtain income certificate from Rs 40,000 to Rs two lakh for SCs and
STs and from Rs 40,000 to Rs 44,000 for others, Social Welfare
Minister A Narayanaswamy said on Monday.
A NarayanaswamySpeaking to reporters here, he said the step was taken
as the cost of living has gone up considerably over the years. The
Centre too had recently directed State governments to increase the
income limit for issuing income certificates.
However, the Income Certificates can be used only for educational
purposes and not for availing various welfare programmes being
implemented by the State government, he added.
The Minister said a large number of SCs and STs had become ineligible
to obtain Income certificates as the income limit was very low. The
government's move will benefit nearly 15 lakh people belonging to
these communities. The plan is also on cards to further increase the
income limit in this regard for those belonging to other communities,
especially to OBCs, he added.
Release of prisoners
Narayanaswamy, who is also the Minister for Prisons, said the
government would recommended to Governor H R Bhardwaj to release 105
prisoners for good conduct, on the occasion of Independence Day.
Prisoners were selected on recommendation from district advisory committees.
"We will send the list as per the rules. It is he Governor's
prerogative to release them or not," he said, in reference to the
Governor rejecting a similar recommendation earlier.
