Joychen Joseph, August 25, 2020: The Times of India
In the first instance of a state tweaking the perks of legislators amid the pandemic, the Rajasthan assembly on Monday passed an amendment that allows MLAs to bill the exchequer for even foreign trips so that their annual travel expenditure entitlement of Rs 3 lakh is fully utilised.
While MLAs of several states enjoy paid foreign travel categorised as “study trips”, Rajasthan so far did not have any provision for reimbursement of travel expenses other than for domestic official tours. Travel coupons for domestic travel could be used for up to a maximum of 15 days a month.
“The Rajasthan Legislative Assembly (Officers and Members Emoluments and Pension) (Amendment) Act, 2020, also provides for reimbursement of the travel expenses of former MLAs up to a maximum of Rs 1 lakh annually,” assembly’s deputy chief whip Mahendra Chaudhary told TOI. If the amount reimbursed in a financial year is less than the hiked ceiling of Rs 3 lakh, the rest of the entitlement can be carried forward. A member entitled to receive travelling allowance under section 8 of the law can choose to travel by air, rail, ship or steamer, the law states.
