Chief ministers’ salaries
Privy to the CM’s purse?
They Take Home Anything Between 1 & 12L Per Year
Harit Mehta & Chitra Unnithan | TNN
Ahmedabad: Chief ministers in India earn between Re 1 and Rs 12 lakh annually. Earning Rs 96,000 per year, Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee is the ‘poorest’ while Punjab’s Parkash Singh Badal, with a salary of Rs 12 lakh per annum, is ‘richest’.
Tamil Nadu’s J Jayalalithaa takes home a token salary of Re 1, according to Paycheck India, a research initiative of the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A).
While the research at Paycheck India is led by Biju Varkkey, a faculty member of IIM-A, paycheck.in’s technical infrastructure is handled by WageIndicator Foundation, an Amsterdam-based non-profit organization.
At Rs 7,02,260 annually, which is close to Rs 60,000 per month, Gujarat’s Narendra Modi figures at No 6 in the list.
His rival, Bihar’s Nitish Kumar is the second highest paid CM with an annual salary of Rs 11,94,000 which comes to a monthly pay of Rs 99,500.
Paycheck India says it doesn’t have details about the salaries of five CMs: Nabam Tuki (Arunachal Pradesh), Oommen Chandy (Kerala), Naveen Patnaik (Odisha), Akhilesh Yadav (Uttar Pradesh) and Vijay Bahuguna (Uttarakhand).
