The Gujarat Legislative Assembly (Speaker and Deputy Speaker) Salaries and Allowances Act, 1960

General196031 sections

This law regulates the compensation, benefits, and professional conduct of the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker of the Gujarat Legislative Assembly. It applies specifically to these two legislative leaders, defining their monthly salaries, allowances, free housing, travel expenses, government vehicles, and telephone facilities. This Act matters because it ensures that these key presiding officers receive structured public funding to perform their roles independently. By providing essential resources while strictly prohibiting both officials from practicing any other profession or earning outside income during their official terms, the legislation safeguards the integrity of the state assembly and actively prevents conflicts of interest.
