In view of the additional financial burden following the coronavirus pandemic, the Uttar Pradesh government has decided to scrap multiple allowances given to its employees.
Last month, the government had decided to stop these allowances for the employees of different departments for a year.
A notification issued by Finance Secretary Sanjeev Mittal on Tuesday said, "A review of the allowances stopped or not existing at the Centre and permissible in state was carried out, following decline in state government's revenues in view of the corona pandemic."
