The Nagaland Legislative Assembly Members Salaries, Allowances & Pensions (Amendment) Act, 2001

This Act regulates the financial support provided to the families of Nagaland Legislative Assembly members. Applying to current and former state legislators and their dependents, the law introduces a family pension equal to half of the member's pension for surviving spouses or children, excluding those employed by the government. Additionally, it establishes immediate compensation for the next of kin if a sitting member dies, offering two lakh rupees for deaths in office and five lakh rupees if killed by terrorists. This law matters because it secures the financial welfare of these politicians' families during difficult times.
