Mps Salary Hike

BJP MP Varun Gandhi on Saturday questioned the lawmakers' power to hike their own salaries, pointing out the decline in the number of days the parliament runs for.

Why is there no mechanism to decide the salaries of parliamentarians, the Supreme Court asked the government today. The issue has been pending with the centre for the last 12 years, the court said, setting March 6 as the final date for the government to clarify its stand on the matter.

In his last full-year budget presented to parliament before the 2019 General elections, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has not only rolled out pay hikes for President, Vice President and members of parliament but also sought to change the law to give lawmakers an automatic hike.

A demand for raising wages and allowances of MPs was made in the Rajya Sabha today with members demanding that their salaries should be higher than the revised scale of the Cabinet Secretary.

The government isn't likely to agree to the huge pay hike the lawmakers are demanding. Sources say Prime Minister Narendra Modi has told a lawmakers' delegation, which met him with a petition that members should help the government cut down on expenditure.

The parliamentary affairs ministry has proposed that the salary of lawmakers be doubled, and, despite their track record in recent Parliament sessions, the government believes they deserve it.

With disruptions dictating parliamentary agenda, the focus has been on what a lawmaker costs to the exchequer and the work done by them. The public outcry has included the right of Indian lawmakers to decide their pay and perks.

They want a 100 per cent hike in their salary, but the government does not agree. Now parliamentarians want to compare their pay with that of their counterparts in countries like the US, UK and Germany.

A Parliamentary panel looking into the issue of salary and allowances of MPs may revisit a number of its recommendations on Monday when it meets in the wake of criticism of its proposals like 100 per cent hike in salary, and constituency and office allowances.

A parliamentary panel has pitched for 100 per cent hike in salary and daily allowances of MPs and 75 per cent raise in pension of ex-MPs apart from facilities for their "companions" in place of "spouses".

The much talked about bill to hike salaries of the Members of Parliament (MPs) by over three times from Rs 16,000 to Rs 50,000, and doubling two of their key allowances to Rs 40,000 each was passed in Lok Sabha on Friday.During the debate on the Salary, Allowance and Pension of Members of Parliament (Amendment) Bill, 2010, a strong demand was made ...

Indian Members of Parliament (MPs) have just had a huge raise in their salaries. But shockingly, people in Tonk district of Rajasthan are being paid just one rupee for a whole day's hard labour. And that too for working under the government's National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA).Ramphool is angry and desperate these days. To feed his fam...
