Mps salary and allowance: The Government of India has approved the salary and pension of MPs. On Monday, the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs has issued its notification. In such a situation, they will start getting increased salary from 1 April 2025. Earlier, the salary of these MPs was Rs 1 lakh a month, which will now increase to Rs 1.24 lakh. The government says that the decision to increase the salary and pension of public representatives has been taken keeping in mind the Cost of Living and Inflation Rate. But how much can the salary of these MPs be increased, is there any rule regarding it, let’s know.
What is the rule to increase the salary of MPs
The salary of MPs is used by the use of the powers provided by the Pension Act 1954. In such a situation, the question arises that who increases the salary of MPs. Actually, the Parliament had the power to decide the salary of the first MPs, but an amendment took place in the year 2018, after which now the central government takes this decision. In fact, the Modi government had implemented the rule of amending the salary and allowances of MPs every five years in 2018. This ended the rule of recommendations being made by MPs to decide the salary. Now on the basis of Coast Infection, the salary of Members of Parliament has been increased by 24%. This is the first such amendment after April 2018, which aims to bring salary to inflation.

Talking about the year 1966, MPs used to get 500 rupees a month in the form of salary at that time. But as time changed and inflation increased, the salary of Honorable MP also increased. Now in the last 70 years, salary has increased a lot. A week ago, the Government of Karnataka has approved a 100 percent increase in the salary of Chief Minister, Ministers and MLAs. However, it never showed open opposition. But there is a rule to increase the salary of MPs and ministers abroad.
