Despite fiscal challenges, Himachal Pradesh unanimously enhanced the salary and allowances of the Members of Legislative Assembly (MLAs) between 18% and 27%.
SHIMLA:
Chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu introduced the Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly (Allowances and Pension of Members) Amendment Bill 2025 in the House on the last day of assembly's budget session under supplementary agenda on Friday.
Through the amendments, Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu-led Congress government in the state has made a provision of hike in salary of MLAs after every 5 years by linking the salaries to price index. This is done as salary and allowances of the MLAs in Himachal were last increased in May 2016.
The hike in the salaries and allowance is expected to increase the financial burden on the state exchequer by approximately Rs 24 crore annually.
