General19427 sections

This Act governs the financial compensation, allowances, and amenities provided to members of the Punjab Legislative Assembly. It establishes the monthly compensatory allowance (salary) for members, subject to strict attendance requirements, and outlines specific conditions under which these payments may be reduced or withheld, such as during periods of legal detention. Furthermore, the Act provides for additional benefits, including travelling and halting allowances, residential accommodation, telephone facilities, and free transit via railway or state transport. By standardizing these payments and amenities, the Act ensures that elected representatives are supported in their official duties while maintaining accountability through attendance-based compensation rules.
