The set of three static spherically symmetric solutions of the Einstein–Maxwell field equations by Maurya and Gupta, {\it Astrophys. Space Sci.} 333, 149 (2011) are modified by introducing the variable cosmological term. Motivated by Tiwari et al, {\it Indian J. Pure Appl. Math.} 31, 1017 (2000), some particular values of the cosmological term are taken to obtain well-behaved solutionsof the Einstein–Maxwell field equations. All the results given by Maurya and Gupta can be obtained as particular cases of our solutions by choosing a cosmological term equal to zero.
