The Maharashtra Legislature Members' Pension Act, 1976

Finance19768 sections

This Indian state law provides pension benefits to members of the Maharashtra State Legislature, including permanent members of both the Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council. It extends support to representatives from former regional assemblies, such as Bombay or Hyderabad, whose constituencies now form part of Maharashtra. By offering these retirement funds to individuals who have served public office, the Act ensures that legislators can continue to contribute to state governance without facing financial hardship after their term ends. This financial security is intended to encourage dedicated public service and sustain the political representation within the state government.
