Kerala has increased the vehicle purchase-value limit for tax exemptions available to persons with disabilities from ₹7 lakh to ₹15 lakh, according to The Hindu.

It also does not provide details about the eligibility requirements beyond referring to persons with disabilities. No information was supplied about the date on which the new limit takes effect, the government order introducing it or the procedure applicants must follow.

The report also does not say whether the exemption covers the full vehicle tax or a specified portion. The change was reported as a revision to Kerala’s vehicle-tax exemption threshold. Further details about implementation and qualifying purchases were not included in the supplied material.
