Maha sets no price limit on cars bought by CM, Governor
A new resolution passed by the Maharashtra government stated that the Governor, Chief Minister, Deputy CM, Chief Justice and Lokayukta can buy any car regardless of the cost. Cabinet ministers and ministers of state have been given a limit of ?20 lakh. Whereas for the Chief Secretary and Secretary, the limit is ?15 lakh and ?12 lakh respectively.
In a very surprising move the Maharashtra government's finance department passed a new resolution on the price limit for the car that is to be used by ministers and high ranking government servants for official uses. Interestingly the Chief Minister, Governor, Deputy CM, Chief Justice and Lokayukta can purchase any car of their choice and there is no limit on the amount of money they can spend. On the other hand Director General of Police (DGP) and Commissioner level officers can purchase cars only up to Rs 8 lakhs.
