Every year on 9th November, Uttarakhand celebrates its foundation day. In the year 2000, Uttarakhand was separated from Uttar Pradesh and got the status of a separate state. Since then, this state has its own Vidhan Sabha, which currently has 70 members. In the last 24 years, the salary of the MLAs of Uttarakhand has also been changed several times. Let us know how much difference has come in their salary over time.

Salary of Uttarakhand MLAs in 2000

When Uttarakhand state was formed, in 2000, MLAs were given a monthly salary of Rs 13,000. Apart from this, they also got some allowances and other facilities, which were decided keeping in mind the economic condition of the state and inflation. At that time, this salary and facilities were enough to handle the newly formed political structure of the state.

First salary hike in 2004

A few years after the formation of Uttarakhand, the salary of MLAs was increased for the first time in 2004. At this time, their monthly salary was increased to Rs 22,000. Apart from this, allowances and facilities were also increased, which increased their efficiency and improved the service of the state.

More salary hikes in 2012

In 2012, the state government once again increased the salary of the MLAs. This time their monthly salary was increased to Rs 40,000. Along with this, the MLAs were also given travel allowance, housing allowance and other facilities so that they could perform their responsibilities well. The government believed that with a proper salary, the MLAs can contribute better to the development of the state.

Historical increase in salary in 2016

In 2016, the Uttarakhand Assembly made a major increase in the salary of MLAs. This year their monthly salary was increased to Rs 1 lakh. Apart from this, changes were also made in the allowances and pension given to the MLAs so that they can play their role better. The main reason for this increase was considered to be rising inflation and increased responsibilities of the MLAs.
