A 24% increase in Members of Parliament’s salaries, adjusted according to the inflation index

Each Member of Parliament will now receive a salary of Rs 1,24,000

New Delhi – The government has issued a notification confirming a 24% increase in the salaries and pensions of current and former Members of Parliament, including those in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.Due to this, the members will get a salary of Rs 1 lakh 24 thousand per month instead of Rs 1 lakh. They will also get a daily allowance of Rs 2.5 thousand. The pension of former MPs has been increased from Rs 25 thousand to Rs 31 thousand per month.(A common person gets this much pension after serving in the government for 30 to 35 years, so why do those who have been MPs for only 5 years get so much pension ? – Editor) Earlier, in April 2018, the salaries and allowances of MPs were increased.

The current MPs are paid Rs 70,000 per month for constituency expenses, Rs 60,000 as office allowance, and Rs 2,000 as daily allowance during the session of Parliament. This allowance will also be increased. MPs are given government accommodation in Delhi. In this, they are given 50 thousand units of electricity and 4 thousand liters of water free of cost. (Is there unnecessary use of water and electricity ? Is this monitored ? – Editor)

Editorial Perspective

Looking at the salaries paid to the Members of Parliament, it has now become necessary to make a rule to deduct money from the salaries of them, taking into account the number of days they are present in Parliament, how much work they do, and the extent to which they behave undisciplined; because the public sees that they are not utilizing the money they receive as salaries from public taxes.
