Kerala increases the vehicle tax exemption limit for people with disabilities, according to state officials. The change applies to eligible individuals purchasing vehicles, with the scope set for those with multiple disabilities.

The state Transport Minister C P John says the exemption covers vehicles bought by persons with more than one disability condition, including autism and cerebral palsy. Both outlets report that the government is expanding the exemption threshold, though they do not provide detailed figures in the provided excerpts.

The coverage focuses on the policy update and eligibility criteria rather than enforcement or implementation timelines. With the information available, the main differences are limited to phrasing—one outlet frames the move as “rising” the exemption limit, while another describes it as raising the limit for eligible vehicle purchases—without disputing the core details.
