Salary hike of MPs based on review linked to inflation
Hindustan Times Navi Mumbai
|March 26, 2025
The latest salary hike of members of Parliament, which was done by the government by a new mechanism, is in sync with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision that lawmakers should not decide their own salary, said officials aware of developments.
NEW DELHI:
Under this government, the age-old practice of MPs deciding their own salaries was replaced by a new mechanism that will periodically review MPs' remunerations based on inflation.
On Monday, the parliamentary affairs ministry notified the revised salary for MPs, giving them a 24% hike. This is the first time in the recent past when the ministry, and not a panel led by MPs, decided the salary structure based on inflation. Each MP will now get ₹1.24 lakh as against the current salary of ₹1 lakh and their pension too, was revised to ₹31,000 from the current rate of ₹25,000.
