With the extension of 890 Central laws applicable to Jammu and Kashmir, repeal of 205 state laws, and modification of 129 laws after the abrogation of Article 370 in the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir, a system of equitable justice has been established in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir for all sections of the people.<br />'' <br />'' The rights of weaker sections like Scheduled Tribes, other traditional forest dwellers, Scheduled Castes, and Safai Karamcharis are now ensured by the application of relevant Acts. The rights of children and senior citizens are now being ensured.<br />'' <br />'' In order to create a just and equitable society, reservation rules have been amended to extend the benefits of reservation to left out categories like Pahari-speaking people and economically weaker sections.<br />'' <br />'' Union Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman while tabling  2021-22 budget for J&K said that OBC reservation benefits have been increased from 2 percent to 4 percent and income ceiling has been raised from Rs 4.50 lakh to Rs 8 lakh. She also maintained that sections of society that have been discriminated since ages like displaced persons of PoJK and Chhamb, West Pakistani refugees, and residents of border areas have benefited under various schemes. She said that special attention is also being paid to Kashmiri migrants.<br />'' <br />'' For the first time, the spouse of a J&K domicile shall also be deemed as a domicile. Earlier, spouses of Permanent Resident Cardholders were considered at par but were not considered domiciles. Children of central government officials posted for over ten years in Jammu and Kashmir will also continue to be considered domiciles.<br />'' <br />'' The implementation of several pathbreaking central legislations after the revocation of Article 370, like the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forests Rights) Act, 2007, the Scheduled Caste and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act 1954 among others, is bringing a new era of progress and development in J&K.
