The Salaries and Allowances of the Members of Jammu and Kashmir State Legislature Act, 1960

General196013 sections

This law provides a structured financial and support framework for representatives serving in the Legislative Assembly of Jammu and Kashmir, excluding government ministers. It specifies monthly salaries, daily sitting allowances, conveyance, telephone, and medical entitlements, alongside travel reimbursements for official journeys. To maintain accountability, salary disbursement depends on meeting attendance thresholds, and formal verification procedures govern allowance claims. By establishing clear standards for compensation, housing facilities, and travel costs, the legislation ensures that lawmakers receive necessary resources to perform their public duties effectively, engage with constituencies, and participate in legislative sessions without facing personal financial hardship.
