The motorcycle allowance will rise from ₹700 to ₹1,000 per month for eligible field-duty personnel. The SIM or mobile allowance will increase from ₹2,000 to ₹2,500. The allowance given to PPS officers over 5 years will rise from ₹6,400 to ₹15,000.

  • The SIM or mobile allowance will be ₹2,500, compared with ₹2,000 earlier.
  • The allowance for PPS officers over 5 years will be ₹15,000, up from ₹6,400.

The announcement was made during an event marking Police Commemoration Day. The occasion is dedicated to remembering police personnel who died in the line of duty and to renewing the commitment to public service.

Yogi Adityanath said police personnel perform their responsibilities in difficult conditions. He described the police force as important to maintaining the rule of law and protecting citizens across the state.

Government's stated focus on police welfare

The chief minister said the government's priority includes attention to police personnel's facilities and welfare. He said efforts since 2017 had focused on strengthening the police force while also improving provisions for its personnel.

The state has arranged cashless health cards worth up to ₹5 lakh for police personnel and their families, according to the announcement. Training capacity has also been increased several times, although no new capacity figure was provided.

The government's stated objective is to provide police personnel with better resources and facilities. The announcement linked this support to enabling them to enforce the law without fear.

Yogi Adityanath also said police personnel are responsible for protecting poor people, victims, traders and women. He referred to the force's role in implementing a zero-tolerance policy against crime and mafias.

Significance of Police Commemoration Day

The chief minister said Police Commemoration Day is not limited to paying tribute to police personnel who made the supreme sacrifice. He described it as an occasion to draw inspiration from their sacrifice and renew dedication to duty.

The allowance announcements therefore came alongside a broader message about police responsibilities, working conditions and institutional support. The stated measures address recurring expenses linked to field work, communication and the service of PPS officers.

Conclusion

The Uttar Pradesh government has announced higher motorcycle, SIM or mobile and PPS-related allowances for police personnel, along with its stated focus on facilities, health support and training.
