What is the pension of mp in india?

The pension for Members of Parliament (MPs) in India is quite generous compared to many other professions. Here are the current details:

Monthly pension: - ₹25,000 per month for each term served as MP - Maximum pension capped at ₹50,000 per month (for two or more terms)

Additional benefits: - Telephone allowance: ₹1,700 per month - Office expense allowance: ₹6,000 per month (for first term), ₹8,000 (subsequent terms) - Free train travel in first class AC - Free accommodation in MP hostels when visiting Delhi - Medical facilities for self and dependent family members

Eligibility: - Must have served at least one full term as MP (Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha) - Pension starts from the date they cease to be an MP

There's been ongoing debate about whether these pension benefits are too generous, especially since MPs serve relatively short terms compared to other government employees who receive pensions. The system has been revised several times, with the current rates being significantly reduced from previous, even higher amounts.

Many former MPs continue to receive these pensions while serving in other paid positions, which has been a point of public discussion.
