The Article that entitles members of either House of Parliament to receive such salaries and allowances as Parliament may determine by law is:

Article 106 provides that the members of either House of Parliament shall be entitled to receive such salaries and allowances as may from time to time be determined by Parliament by law.

How the salaries are fixed:

• Parliament passed the Salary, Allowances and Pension of Members of Parliament Act, 1954, under this Article.
• The Act has been amended from time to time to revise the salaries and allowances.
• Since 2018, the salaries and allowances of MPs are revised automatically every five years, on the basis of the cost inflation index.

What MPs receive:

• A monthly salary.
• A daily allowance for attending sessions of Parliament and committee meetings.
• A constituency allowance and an office expense allowance.
• Free travel facilities, housing, telephone, water and electricity, and medical facilities.
• A pension after they cease to be members.

Related provisions:

• Article 99: Every member of Parliament must make and subscribe an oath or affirmation before taking his or her seat.
• Article 104: Penalty for sitting and voting before making the oath, or when not qualified or disqualified.
• Article 105: Powers, privileges and immunities of the Houses of Parliament and their members, such as freedom of speech in Parliament and immunity from court proceedings for anything said or any vote given in Parliament.

The state legislatures:

Article 195 makes a similar provision for the salaries and allowances of members of the State Legislatures.

Office-holders:

The salaries of the presiding officers of the two Houses (such as the Speaker and the Chairman) are provided under other provisions.

Why not the other options?

• ✗Article 105 deals with the privileges of members; Article 104 with the penalty for sitting without oath or when disqualified; Article 99 with the oath of members.
