UP Cabinet Approves Property Tax Cuts for Women, Tech Center
The Uttar Pradesh government decided to help women buy property by offering a discount on stamp duty.
If a woman buys a property worth up to ₹1 crore, she'll get a 1% discount on the stamp duty, which is a tax on the property purchase.
The government hopes this will encourage more women to own property, making them more confident and financially secure.
It's like giving women a small price cut to help them become homeowners.
This decision is part of a larger effort to empower women.
The government also approved a new center in Lucknow that will make special detectors, creating jobs for engineers and other workers.

Previously, the exemption was limited to properties up to ₹10 lakh.
