Odisha MLAs join top-paid legislators after 211% hike
Hindustan Times Pune
|December 11, 2025
The Odisha assembly on Tuesday passed legislation raising MLA salaries and allowances by approximately 211% —a quantum leap that vaults the state's legislators to the highest-paid ranks nationally , even as the state lags several others in terms of minimum wages for workers.
The push for revision came from across party lines.
(PT)
Odisha’s decision seems to have united political adversaries but divided public opinion.
Four separate bills, passed without a single dissenting voice, increased monthly emoluments of MLAs from ₹1.11 lakh to ₹3.45 lakh, that of CMs from ₹98,000 to ₹3.74 lakh, of ministers from ₹97,000 to ₹3.58 lakh and Speakers from ₹97,500 to ₹3.68 lakh effective retrospectively from June 2024.
The salary of Odisha MLAs were last hiked in 2017.
