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.

Amid demands that lawmakers should not be allowed to decide their salaries, the National Democratic Alliance government has proposed to set up a three-member panel to recommend their pay and perks. The proposal is part of the agenda notes prepared for the two-day All India Whips' Conference to be held at Visakhapatnam, next week.
