Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has announced a new commission structure for ration dealers, raising the payment to ₹125 per quintal. The decision was made public during a press briefing where the CM highlighted the need to support dealers who play a crucial role in the state's food distribution network.
The Chief Minister noted that he had previously expressed irritation over the frequent complaints from ration dealers regarding their earnings. By increasing the commission, the government aims to improve the financial viability of these dealers and encourage better service to consumers.
Under the revised scheme, dealers who purchase and sell government ration goods will receive the higher commission rate, which is expected to boost their income and potentially reduce the cost burden on consumers. The policy is part of the state’s broader effort to streamline the ration distribution system and address grievances from stakeholders.
The announcement has been welcomed by several dealer associations, who view the hike as a positive step toward ensuring fair compensation for their role in the ration supply chain.
