In the year 2016, the honorarium of Madrasa teachers which was increased by the Akhilesh government was Rs 8000 (undergraduate Madrasa teacher) and Rs 15000 (Masters teacher) every month. Earlier the central government had banned this honorarium and now the Yogi government has also stopped it.
The Uttar Pradesh government has stopped the honorarium of madrasa teachers which was increased during the Akhilesh government. Earlier the Central Government had stopped the honorarium of Madrasa teachers and now the Yogi Government has also stopped it.

Why did the honorarium stop?
Actually, this scheme was approved by the Central Government only till 2021-22 in which honorarium was not already being given by the Central Government. Despite this, the system of additional honorarium which was given in the budget has been abolished. Now no financial sanction has been issued for this honorarium. For this reason, by sending orders to all the districts, payment of honorarium has been banned.
According to Hari Baksh Singh, Joint Secretary, Minority Welfare, the system of honorarium, which was being given extra, has been abolished and no budget or financial approval is being given for this honorarium. Its order has been sent to all the districts.
