THE LAWMAKERS' SALARIES ARE AUTOMATICALLY ADJUSTED EVERY FIVE YEARS BASED ON THE COST INFLATION INDEX, SAID OFFICIALS AWARE OF THE MATTER
NEW DELHI: 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.
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 Rs 1.24 lakh as against the current salary of Rs 1 lakh and their pension too, was revised to Rs 31,000 from the current rate of Rs 25,000.
