Re: [HumJanenge] When will abnormally high allowances being paid to MPs be withdrawn?

A bit curious! How much of the MPs' perks is taxable? Or is it Tax Free since these are all perks?

Subject: [HumJanenge] When will abnormally high allowances being paid to MPs be withdrawn?

Alarmed by Anna's movement, Govt Of India recently withdrew discretionary quota given to MPs. By when will other perks given to MPS, like abnormally high petrol, electricity payments and almost free canteen food, be withdrawn from MPs. Also, now that MPs salaries are comensurate with those of the highest civil servants, why should MPs other allowances like house rent, travelling allowance, daily allowance etc not be commensurate with similiar civil servants, if not lower, and not continue to be abnormally high..
