Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Ministers' Salaries and Allowances Act, 1957

Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Ministers' Salaries and Allowances Act, 1957

This legislation establishes compensation and benefits for Deputy Ministers serving in the Jammu and Kashmir government. It sets their monthly salary at one thousand rupees while providing additional allowances covering petrol and travel expenses within sixteen kilometers of headquarters. The Act mandates free furnished housing with state-funded maintenance costs. Officials also receive official cars with government covering upkeep expenses, though they may claim alternative transportation allowances when using personal vehicles. Tax reimbursements address situations where government service alters an individual's tax liability status. Supplementary allowances for sumptuary expenses and constituency work may be authorized by the Governor through specific rules. This Act effectively repealed a 2010 version while preserving actions already undertaken under the previous legislation, ensuring these government functionaries receive appropriate compensation for their designated ministerial responsibilities.
