According to the current pay framework MLAs are getting about Rs, 95,000 per month but KCR’s new proposal would bump it up to Rs, 2 Lakh rupees per month which will cost Rs 2.5 Cr per month and up to Rs 150 Cr in five years.

KCR also promised to review the pension hike for former MLAs and MLCs as per the release from CMO office.
