The government of Andhra Pradesh has introduced a welfare initiative granting property tax exemption for houses owned by Indian Defence personnel within the gram panchayat areas of the state. In addition to this tax relief, the state announced significant support for the family of Murali Naik, including an ex gratia payment of ₹50 lakh, five acres of agricultural land, and a 300-square-yard house site. Actor-politician Pawan Kalyan also extended his support by announcing ₹25 lakh for the family.
