THE NAGALAND LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY MEMBERS’ SALARIES ALLOWANCES AND PENSION (AMENDMENT) ACT, 1995

The Nagaland Legislative Assembly Members' Salaries, Allowances& Pension (Amendment) Act, 1995

This law regulates the pensions of former members of the Nagaland Legislative Assembly, applying directly to all elected representatives in the state. Effective from April 1, 1995, it establishes that retired legislators receive a monthly pension of five hundred rupees after serving one term, which increases to a maximum of eight hundred rupees for second and subsequent terms. It matters because it legally defines a term to include partial or shortened service resulting from unexpected assembly dissolution or election changes. This ensures that representatives receive their rightful retirement pension even if political circumstances cut their legislative service short.
